I'm working on a short blog post about data transfer in general but ETL, streaming, data pipeline security, and what companies need as they ramp up their AI capabilities.
Please let me know if you have time or interest to review it and give me advice or feedback.
It's an honor to announce that this week I have joined
@CarbonHealth

I bet you can’t find an example of a person you worked with, who added value to the business, and was bad to people.
Don’t ever believe in the fairytale of “the brilliant jerk.”

To be honest, I have yet to see competent people who are not pleasant and lovely in the workplace. It feels like an oxymoron to be competent and not value relationships. How else will you get things done?
I like this post introducing Morel. It identifies why SQL is so popular:
1) It's concise
2) It's interactive
3) Easy query planning via relational algebra
It also identifies where it falls behind and what a functional query language might look like:
🆕⚕️ We have published the clinical characteristics of 11,169 COVID-19 tested patients, all available on .
We have also published notebooks for data preparation and exploration. Below you can see the fill rate for all variables included in the repo.
I wrote about our Q&A session with
@stevesi
at Twitter HQ. 🏢
We talk about strategy, deadlines, status meetings, staffing, internal blogs, and innovation after PMF in cross-functional organizations. 📈
Huge thanks to

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

If you ever hire you a data scientist who has experience with ML, that's great, they'll know when not to use it and save you the trouble and the costs.
I am very happy with the state of this article:
"Management best practices"
There probably should be a longer version that would more clearly describe the motivation for each.

Me: Yeah
Guy: So are they a good place to work

The success of the internet is due to the increase in creators, not the increase in consumers. Get this wrong and you can go back to the 50s, where you rightfully belong.
@vboykis
here are some takes:
1) sql is code
2) json blobs are not text
3) descriptive stats are more valuable than inferential stats and so tools need to prioritize better ux for the former
