I guess that sort makes sense, it's the Spotify logo without the white stripey bits...

Thank you so much, hadn't quite realised it, but I've been waiting for something like this to be written up to take the uv plunge! (Much like I fully converted to WexTerm and have never looked back, after this post: alexplescan.com/posts/2024/0...)

I've tried so many times till about 2019 to get started with the OCI free tier and it keeps... stopping me from proceeding at some point. IIRC it was at the point where it sends me an activation link or some such? Maybe I'll give it a go again, looks like they've upped the specs of the free tier!

IMHO this is because waterfall lends itself much nicer to micromanagement..

Every "agile BI" thing I've ever been involved in has inevitably become "series of small waterfall BIs"

Does that then make it the syntactic layer? 🤔

Me too, so would also like to know if there's anything interesting/actually useful that people like 👀

Ooh yes it's so good I pay for Strava Premium just for the charts and training log visualisation.
I also really like Garmin Connect for the same reason. Lots of detailed unpaywalled data and reports (...well I guess you need to buy a Garmin watch..)

We did this at Memrise with a small but devilishly competent platform team and it was unironically great!

I'm just glad someone with all the same information as me and the same perspective on it came to same conclusion 😅

Yep Snowflake has a notebook interface that allows you to mix and match Python, SQL and documentation cells, although you're limited to the python packages in Snowflake's Anaconda repository.

Iceberg is absolutely on the roadmap! It'll just take a while to disentangle from all the direct writes to Snowflake that's happening currently. We pay nearly 3 quarters of a million to Snowflake annually without too many boneheaded decisions, so it's a large estate!

My instinct from experience is that people who are trying it out just like the permissionless way they can spin up compute for ad-hoc tasks. These "advantages" will vanish as soon as it needs to become a supported and governed service.

We can't rebuild the BQ lock-in parts because of Google Ads, Search Console and some other bits I can't currently remember.. and it's not a one vs another evaluation, it's to decide if Databricks can be used as a data science IDE, which I'm agitating against because.. (contd)

Mendeley used to do this really nicely in its, uh, "less polished" days. I'm not sure what it does now, the website's a bit baffling to me...

More the latter than the former -- yeah we're currently considering an approach along the "a check in the PR workflow" lines, maybe something in CI, maybe something in the guidelines for PR reviewers...

We're using the playbook approach currently, and some of us were just wondering if there's a more automated, and slightly less prone to forgetfulness way to do this...
