DuckLake is cool. Next question, how do we scale the local querying? Let my iPhone 15, laptop and desktop scale out a query on 1TB of data

Snowflake releasing semantic views, meaning you can semantic/metric layer directly in your cloud DW: docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/… I'm here for it, but I don't see docs yet on how you would consume from the semantic view. Maybe like select conversion_rate() from semantic_view?

Anyone here used Looker (as a semantic/metrics layer) and Tableau together? How is the native Looker to Tableau connector?

BigQuery just released UNION ALL BY NAME It solves the issue of perfectly aligning each field properly in SQL. As long as the fields have the same name you're good!

Pro tip: mention “vanity metrics” once in a meeting and people will think you’re a freaking analytics mastermind 😮

It turns out taking your job a lot less seriously is good for your mental health. Who would have thought?

I thought BigQuery was pretty cool but then I learned about Databricks Delta Live Tables and Snowflake Dynamic Tables… Why we out here writing manual incremental strategies in dataform and dbt, just let the engine figure it out (didn’t realize streaming could be that easy)

First thing you do at airport is locate your boarding gate. Doesn’t matter if your flight is 2 hours delayed. I don’t make the rules

Complex measure calculations in raw SQL is driving me insane. Yes we want to transform data in data warehouse/version controlled code, but these final mile calculations are so much easier/flexible to complete in a BI tool. Really missing Power BI right now lol
