Meet the MistleBros, my once a year Christmas cover band. Vol. 6 - “Coming Home This Christmas” (Jonas Brothers) Happy holidays!

I argued with myself for four hours putting this together. The goal wasn't to pick my favorites, even though most of them are. It was to find the one album that instantly takes me back to that specific year.

My little Leia Bean suddenly passed away last weekend. Dogs are irreplaceable and precious. Give yours a big hug for Ms. Leia Bean ❤️

When the world says you can’t do something, keep moving forward 👊🏻

Be careful when dealing with father + son duos with the same name. I just realized I’ve been sending heinous Instagram posts to my best friend’s dad for over 3 years.

🎥 Who are the top directors, writers, and actors from the top 200 highest-grossing movies of all time? 💰 Which are the top money-making production companies? 🏆 Which films are the top "Razzies" winners (worst movies of all time)?

🎬 What are the all-time top ten movies by "combined success" (revenue, awards, Rotten Tomatoes rating, IMDb votes, etc.)? 📊 What is the age and gender distribution of leading actors and actresses? (This one is thought-provoking!)

Just wrapped up @paradimelabs's Movie Data Modeling Challenge! 300+ participants used SQL & dbt to dig into movie industry insights and compete for a $1500 prize! Check out my blog for the best insights. bit.ly/3KDQfnL Here's the sneak peek 🧵

Overheard at coffee shop: “You been following this Kendrick and Drake beef?” “No, I talk to girls.”

@matsonj I absolutely love my Breville touch. ~$1000, but it’s paid for itself over 2 years probably. I rarely buy coffee now.

i think it is time for me to buy an espresso machine. any recs? already have a grinder

The NBA Data modeling challenge was San absolute blast, and it’s time to run in back with a new data sets - Movies 🎬 bit.ly/3JvSlpq

I just built a dataset containing historical data about movies and TV shows. Seconds before publishing this dataset to the public, I discovered it had 100k+ rows of porn films. Lesson: always doublecheck your work. ✅✅

@JohnKutay The role is so broad. Everybody I talk to is doing it different. A lot of the time it’s just content marketing / lead gen disguised under a DevRel title.

The DevRel / DevEx role is still a bit puzzling to me. Is the role valuable solely because they're marketing to developers? Or are they valuable because you get to hire high IQ, technical operators in GTM roles traditionally dominated by less technical folks?

@matsonj That’s what makes it a “hot take” haha

@parkerrog oh good stuff, thanks for sharing. i find the one about "most clutch" super interesting bc I think its confounded by those guys overwhelming being 2nd/3rd options and if they are getting shots in the last few seconds of game they are much more likely to be high quality...

I recently wrapped the "NBA Data Modeling Challenge" where 100+ participants used SQL + dbt to generate insights from... you guessed it... historical NBA Data. In this blog, I highlighting some of my favorite, participant-generated insights! bit.ly/nba-challenge-…

Insights include: - How the 3-pointer has dramatically changed the NBA - All-time most consistent playoff performers - Top "shoulda won" MVP candidates - Most clutch NBA players ever - Highest paid NBA players (infl. adjusted) - Most over/undervalued players in NBA history

This wordy sentence makes me wanna headbutt my phone:

@github can you add a little badge that indicated which users write code on adderall?
