@ryxcommar I'm starting to realize that Google Sheets will be the future of 'storage + compute' for analytics... Modern Data Stacks are dead...

the best single quick win we've gotten for business productivity in the last 6 months was we started to dump things into google sheets for data deliverables, now everyone on the team is spreadsheet pilled.

@VavisDance That makes so much more sense!

@ea_tweets I thought it's called Xeeting now

Why are they still called tweets if the platform is called X?

There's a major issue in the data world... analysts with an attachment problem: askethan.substack.com/p/data-teams-h…

@JustJake @fivetran @JustJake what's the data source? If Portable can support it, I'll comp your flow for a year to help you recoup your $3k. Even after that, we charge $200/month and don't care about data volumes (because we've been in your shoes and hate unexpected bills).

Hey @fivetran what’s up with this? We just got a $3000 bill for syncing rows we expressly told FT to NOT sync Your customer support told us to pound sand and this is expected behavior. So, why even have selectable fields in the first place?

@MaryMacCarthy Unrelated, I'll definitely buy you a coffee @MaryMacCarthy!

@kelseyhightower I'll be there! Looking forward to it @kelseyhightower

@matsonj @DSMoxon What's the POS system @matsonj At Portable, those are the types of systems we love to integrate with (the super niche applications). Development is free, we just need to know what the tool is and we can dig in.

@DSMoxon The underlying problem is they have a very industry specific point of sale system that is not supported by the big players and is not implemented uniformly across all sites.

so i'm working with a client who shall not be named. their pipeline has been down since nov. it took them 6 weeks to get me access to snowflake. lets see what i find

@emilyhawkins__ The cost of 30 people is ~$6m/yr. When I consider TCO (and ROI) for a data team, I like to look at both headcount + tech costs. It's always a balancing act. How do you balance saving money on Snowflake with spending money on headcount to do so?

@emilyhawkins__ @emilyhawkins__ How do you think about headcount costs in the equation?

Web3 would be a great name for a Las Vegas casino🤔
