Forget about writing your own DAX parser. You can pass a valid DAX query to👇 $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_CALC_DEPENDENCY And get all the underlying dependencies in under 100ms. Peeps parsing the Log Analytics traces know what I'm talking about😉

@Elijah_Meeks Not sure the dots work for this viz. Have you tried stripes?

What have I done. #minard #map #dataviz

@lauriewired Bet it’s still some 8051 from decades of production

the most mass produced computer in history is likely a SIM card

@lauriewired I’ve heard that DNA is quite reliable for programming. Something about error correction and easy replication

with that in mind, I wonder what the average person "touches" more in a given day. Java or C

@kurtbuhler My 9yo daughter also does real-world data science tasks. And I must admit quite successfully. But I would let her take over my work.

Databricks genie code: databricks.com/blog/introduci… Databricks' in-house agent harness? Looks interesting, but I wonder how actual performance compares to a coding agent with the ai dev kit / custom skills? The success-rate on "real-world data science tasks" needs more clarity...

Wasted 20 min searching for a dataviz on ieee vis youtube channel/site. Then 5 min recreating it from memory. Finally, my memory is more important than my keyword searching skills

@Elijah_Meeks faster to build the vis than finding it. This is ridiculous

@Elijah_Meeks Tried searching it on ieee vis, and it's one of the most text-heavy websites. The irony.

I have been working on integrating those realtime encodings into Semiotic and it's turning out really well...

@mim_djo it didn't just spit it out? Someone had the vision ;)

@igocrite thanks, but it is all AI :)

analytics as code, everything inside github #vscode #dbt #duckdb #apacheiceberg #wasm #claude djouallah.github.io/analytics-as-c…

@Elijah_Meeks This viz will fit perfectly with the latest balance sheet data I was analysing

I have improved on Tom Shanley's sankey with a little chiaroscuro shaaaading. #viz #datavis

@ThePrimeagen Collateral damage

i dont know y'all.. i am not sure if speed is everything these days

@matsonj @SQLGene PowerBI never asks an LLM to just write DAX. So yeah, this whole eval is kind of useless.

@SQLGene @igocrite AI very good at giving me DAX in my limited exp with it. Curious to see your results!

Current slides

I’m not being absolutist here. You still need dashboards to fly planes and review KPIs. But many of the BI dashboards we’re building today are already built on legacy thinking. When agent flows serve as the interface, static GUIs matter much less. If my agent can run XPerf traces better than I can, why am I still maintaining SQL Profiler?

@igocrite I don't think IDEs are going away per se, but I think they'll certainly atomize into something different from what we see today. I think dashboards and "tailored" viz stay, yes... but not in same volume or format. Otherwise (G)UI as a whole "goes away"... bit naive pov imo.

Anyone who likes dataviz and creates Power BI reports - I strongly recommend you try dataviz with coding agents in other code, tools, frameworks. You'll realize how much Power BI's core visuals hold you back in ability/efficiency... True even with skills, MCP, etc...

@kurtbuhler So IDEs are going away, but dashboard stay? Doubt it

@igocrite Nah. Dashboards and a common source of truth that still leverages visual biases and preattentive attributes is essential. I think SSBI dashboards made with gui will become irrelevant tho.

@ZebraBI Congratulations on this new milestone 👏

Today, Zebra BI enters a new chapter. Richard Cooper joins as our CEO, bringing the leadership to drive our global expansion and accelerate what we're building with Zebra AI. This moment is built on 11 years of founder-led growth under Andrej Lapajne. He created something that thousands of teams around the world now rely on to make better decisions, faster. Andrej transitions into the role of Founder & Chief Product Strategist and remains Chairman of the Board. His vision continues to shape where Zebra BI is headed. Thank you for 11 years of building, believing, and never settling. The company you built made this next chapter possible. We're excited for what comes next. ✨ Read the full announcement here: bit.ly/4s7siZX #ZebraBI #ZebraAI #BusinessIntelligence #GlobalExpansion

Can we take a moment to appreciate the #dataviz at the #Olympics2026 Those tiny on-screen data widgets make the sports so much easier to understand for everyone.

@peterabcz @__AlexMonahan__ @duckdb Well deserved achievement 👏

@duckdb was added to the wall of fame of CWI, next to Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm, the Atlantic Crossing of the internet and the creation of the Python programming language. On the occasion of our 80th (believe it or not) birthday. Congrats to Hannes and Mark!
