A postgres user just came into my house and ate my leftover Chinese food without asking. I was saving that too

This is the founder of MongoDB

I can't believe USAID gave 50 million dollars to my followers to not reply ("banger", "rizz god") under my posts.

AIs have a tough time using JSON structure because that data structure isnt ensouled

The teacher always said I was good with shapes and colors. That's how I ended up in data

In times like these I like to take solace in Data Engineering

I just found what I was looking for on StackOverflow

Your data pipelines will not be ensouled unless you add metadata

Companies should do WWE style promos to hype people for product launches

The new Dagster docs experience is here, complete with dark mode! This makes it easier than ever to get started with Dagster. Our focus was on creating a more user-friendly docs structure to ensure that all of the information you need is available within just a few clicks https://buff.ly/4awa90j

I was there when John Dagster wrote the first DAG

Waiting for the build to finish

The Real Estate Data platform project is really coming together in my latest update I added: Github Actions for Orchestration @motherduck.com for the Data Warehouse and expanded my evidence project youtu.be/XC4MEX5VLmc?...

RAGs & DAGs man

Not only was George Washington a founding father he was also a father who stepped up. Powerful

Friday talk! 🎤 @matsonj.com talked about why we should use more SQL and go hands-on with some practical examples of how to read from Iceberg using dbt, DuckDB, and MotherDuck. youtu.be/FMVgwGh8RQA

They wont let me access the forbidden knowledge

Extremely proud of this blog I wrote about Dual Execution on @motherduck.com - it brings the magic of insanely scalable cloud for prod and fast iteration on local to dbt in a seamless way. Very happy to share this with the world. motherduck.com/blog/dual-ex...

I think it's time for this old cowboy to take his talents to Xiaohongshu

When I speed up the recordings of me coding 4x it makes me seem like a 10x engineer. Lesson there

I'm always really enjoying these presentations, sharing all the code and showcasing what's possible today. Amazing integrating BI tools such as Power BI, Looker, Tableau, or Sigma. I believe that's the first time an open-source orchestrator is fully end-to-end. 📺 youtu.be/z3trqkKPbsI?...

Excuse me Garçon, the beef for this steak, is it open-source?

In case you missed it, Shifting Left and Moving Forward with @matsonj.com, @colton.boo, and me is now live on Youtube! youtu.be/z3trqkKPbsI?...

Join us tomorrow where @alexnoonan.bsky.social, @matsonj.com, and @colton.boo will discuss: 🦆 Building an end-to-end data platform ingesting Bluesky data into MotherDuck, and PowerBI 👈 Shifting Left in Data Engineering 🧠 And AI-powered Data Engineering best practices lp.dagster.io/deep-dive-sh...

You may not like it but this is what peak performance data engineering looks like

It costs a fortune to come from nothing these days

duck wait for it db [crowd goes wild]

Community Spotlight! Georg Heiler shared a powerful template that brings together some of the best open-source tools in data engineering: DuckDB, Dagster, dbt, and Rust-based tooling for ensuring code quality and Pixi for dependency management. https://buff.ly/4feldk6

Did you know Dagster asset checks can directly access data from an asset using the built-in I/O manager. Here's a quick snippet showing how it's done!

This time of year is full of reflection and self-improvement. That's why our upcoming deep dive (Jan 14 at 9 a.m. PT) with @matsonj.com at MotherDuck will focus on improving data engineering workflows and leveraging AI tools at their best. Register here: lp.dagster.io/deep-dive-sh...

@dagster.io really is just awesome. Especially loving all the metadata/visibility it provides above and beyond actually running jobs and materializing assets.

There are graphs everywhere for those with eyes to see

Hello Friends. We have a fascinating deep dive tomorrow with one of our Dag-stallions, Edson Nogueira! Register here lp.dagster.io/deep-dive-ar...
