It looks like you created a template tuple. That proves you do understand tuples!
(I am mostly lost)😊

My first impression was "tuple? I don't think you read my code right"
And then I realized, you're just looking at my pixel<> template as if it were a tuple, and that makes sense because you can access the channels off of it as though they were tuple fields.
I never looked at it that way, but you're absolutely right. 
Maybe you understand more of it than you think?

I was referring to this clause.
template<typename Name1, typename Name2, typename Name3>
I have only ever used tuples in Python:
(anyValue1, anyValue2,…)
slap some items together so you can track them with a single reference. Great for returning multiple pieces of information from a function.

Ah, those are simply template arguments in C++.

Hi, you wrote that you are already using a parameter pack in the function rgbpixel::channel. Where would that be? Please post the signature(s) of rgbpixel::channel. Is your code somewhere so I could have a look?

Sure
gfx/include/gfx_pixel.hpp at master · codewitch-honey-crisis/gfx · GitHub[^]
Pixel is at line 504
template<typename... ChannelTraits>
struct pixel {
...
This parameter pack is effectively passed through to each of the metadata query templates, as well as any function that access pixel data, like the implementation of channel<>()

I asked him if he could explain the gaps in his resume.
He said "yeah, they are spaces and you type them using the space bar."
I hired him on the spot!

Especially doing front end applications that interface with large databases ?
Dealing with large SQL requests ?
Anything related to UI/UX ?

Hopefully the back-end API's support pagination and sophisticated searching. (That's a UI/UX clue as well.)

Have you seen (or read) this book: Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems[^]
I read about half of it and it was so deeply technical I couldn't even believe it.
People all over the Internet _say_ they're reading it or have read it, but I couldn't complete it.
i'm not that smart though. I gave up because it explained Databases etc. in such a deep way it went flying over my head. But, that is probably easy. 
Check it out, because I think it may be what you're looking for.

I haven't heard of any, but you might find that different RDBMS vendors handle parallelization of large queries differently.
I know how to search millions of rows in parallel on SQL Server in T-SQL, including how to configure the database system and the hardware it runs on (important!).
I'd be hard pressed to tell you how using Oracle or Postgre. I don't even know if they have "distributed partitioned views" or what they would call them.
My point is you might need to look at books that target a particular flavor of database engine.

Any book I've read would be dated by 20 years. But, I can give some points from real world experience...
For a SQL/RDBMS
- Do not normalize past level 3 for most things. It's not worth the performance hit.
- Do not use old school Hungarian notation like
tblUsers for names. - Learn what an index is and how to properly use it (hint, they help with reads).
- Learn when to use a flattened/denormalized table (hint, when speed is a must or for a reporting db/table).
- If you're in MySQL, learn the different storage types.
- Learn how to use diagrams well.
- For all things pure, make sure you get a proper handle foreign key constraints to help with data integrity.
- Learn when or when not to use a compound key (hint, many to many).
- Speaking of, learn when to use a many to many relationship (hint, clickety).
- Learn the pros and cons of building a self-referential table (hint, when building a hierarchy of data).
- Lean when to use views (hint, permissions and data access restrictions, read only denormalization).
- Understand why concepts like code-first DB design is only purported by those who don't understand proper DB design.
- Understand that by their design relational DBs are slower than non-relational ones.
- Learn to use triggers to automate some things that would otherwise be tedious.
- And for all things pure again, get a grasp on transactions and connection pools.
- Learn to use SQL profiling tools, these will be your BFF.
There may be a few more points I didn't think of of the top of my head, but mastering those will put you ahead of most peeps.
For a NoSQL
- Learn when to use one. If you need to do semi-realtime anything, NoSQL is awesome. So, stuff like logging is perfect for it.
- They make a great reporting DB if you want to use this rather than a flattened table in your relational DB above.
- They don't use schemas (for the most part) so the learning curve is a breeze compared to SQL.
- Do not use them for mission critical data where it's ok to run a bit slower when data integrity is paramount.
Don't follow the buzzword/hype train. NoSQL is awesome but there's a time and place for both relational and non-relational DBs. NoSQL is super fast and that's its main benefit, but that's not always the only concern.

Side note on Triggers: Know WHEN to use triggers. They are a performance hit. It may be negligible, so always load test.

FWIW, since you mentioned UI/UX specifically and dealing with large data sets, reporting and datagrids will likely be things you will need. Pay the one-time fee for a suite of quality data-centric libraries that are built to handle large data...pagination/asynch ops/aggregates/etc.
The suite we use is fantastic and well worth the expense...libs work in windows and web development. I won't 'name names' unless requested, but I believe they are a sponsor here. Also, they have tons of tutorials and demos.
