Great

Very helpful discussions

18:51 - 20:19 - Loved the sharp question from Joe on the evolution of other architectures outside Transformers.

Joe, you look appropriately star struck. I can't believe I missed this!

Has AI automated some part of Data analyst job role ? Is it going to automate some part of data engineering job role also in coming days ?

Coming from a software engineering background into the data field, I find it crazy how many magic black boxes the average data engineer deals with. A lack of software knowledge leaves them at the mercy of whatever tool they know. Data and software are two sides of the same coin, my favourite reverse take of this is by Mike Acton: "The transformation of data is the only purpose of any program."

41:17 "...we're never getting rid of Excel."

Anyone else here because of the Additional Resources section in Fundamentals of Data Engineering?

i enjoyed this <3

Eric Tschetter is a rockstar.

U need a professional KZbin thumbnail designer and video SEO expert?

Isn't it kind of obvious that you rank projects by complexity/ cost as well as business value? Everyone does that. Am I missing something about her point?

is your product a good fit if i have use case where a specific data product has been used million times in a day by hundreds of users ? is it optimal to materialize the data every time when user calls for it ?

naj one! we remember good old days. greetz from moscow!

Very helpful, could not find any examples on how to insert an array, was trying with single quotes '' but it would complain, instead with """ like you did it worked, thanks!

Great discussion. There are lot of areas AI can assist. It shouldnt be only finding ways to intrude the privacy and selling ads.

Listening to this while reading a ReisHousley book unlocks knowledge

Spot onn 🌞⚓️⛱️🤙

😑 promo sm

a super insightful chat with some real key reminders about w t f we are all doing. nice work guys!

Nice session, Joe! 👍

Gents, After 20 years of dba career, your book together with your podcast is just great help on my data engineering journey. You are doing a splendid job without bothering about view or thumbsup counts and focusing on just reaching whoever needs information. Thanks a lot for helping us understanding the data domain.

Thanks!

The stream was amazing, Joe & Matt! 🤓

Some general thoughts on the discussion: (1) I've always felt that if a data team and business|functional owner can connect what they do to something like the DuPont model, then it's easier to articulate business value (2) the challenge with some IT organizations is that they can have goals and professional aspirations that can be disconnected to business strategy, goals aren't business strategy, (3) maybe having a CDO/CAO role doesn't make sense because we don't do data products because we like magenta bar charts or are keen on tuning a machine learning model to improve accuracy and precision,. we do it to drive shareholder value.

Dave has such a grounded view of the evolution of tech. He’s comments on the Gartner hype cycle are so spot on.

The first 5 minutes of the zoom had me in tears. Benedict Arnold. Commodore 64. The espresso cup. Dave is a riot. And that silent response to RUST. Hilarious. Plus, it's so relatable as to how IT works and Data Science. As an OR major, I appreciate the references to Decision Science.

We love your sparkle and wit Susan!

This video is exciting and helped me better this space

What did Aaron mean when he said it will be an "API World" in the next 5 years? Can you please elaborate?

This is an exceptionally accurate talk. Thanks for sharing.

Are y'all able to add video chapters to your videos? Im not necessarily interested in watching the whole video but would love to skip around based on conversation topic

I want to say thank you for your hard effort and sharing valuable information. I want to get into the field so it's nice to hear about shortcomings that people run into.

U know who else says hello Australia….

Ehhehehehheehehhehehe

Never thought a data channel would be give me PTSD about Fran.... 🤮

Question: do you guys think that the CDO role is seen as a joke? Is this something even worth aspiring for? What is the apex data role to reach for in today's landscape.

Hala Nelson surely made a change in us understanding AI

@bitsondatadev slow down my man. Good stuff thought.

1:02:40 very interesting. Lineage based contract requests.

Extremely valuable, thanks guys

@ Josh Benamram (CEO of Databand) - Thanks for the session, it was quite insightful

41:50 Power Query mentioned. the ETL tool for business users (and everyone else as it makes sense). And VBA!

And now we're talking Excel. This talk is very much in my wheelhouse.

Do you like Haskell, you might try Clojure

I used Theorist for math and JMP for statistics back in late 80s early 90s.

Enjoying the R vs Python discussion. I’m more of a Piwer Query guy, but using Pandas today.

Really good discussion. I'm coming from a Microsoft Power BI viewpoint, but much of the discussion about modeling, testing is relevant to all.
