the way my son watches his fish for a few minutes after feeding them fills my heart so much

I love this article world.hey.com/jason/we-inc...

this is great www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/...

same energy as "slow children at play"

We had a baby girl today! Everyone is healthy, hearts are full.

Happy new year everyone! I hope 2025 is great for you

I quite enjoyed this article issues.org/limits-of-da... #databs

When did they start asking if you want a latte got or cold... It's always hot, dammit!

Is throwing a potato in someone's yards and thanking them for decorating a thing? Or am I being ounked? I'm told it's a tradtion...

the vendors... they yearn to vend

I enjoyed this post from my good friend Emilie! open.substack.com/pub/emilie/p...

I joined my family's group chat for the NY Times games and got to air my grievances. I feel seen..

A guy flipped me the bird in traffic 3 days ago and I'm still thinking about it. His was an overly aggressive amount of finger waving given the horn but then it turns out I was wrong and shouldn't have honked bc what he did was legal. Let it go brain!!

having one of those weeks that gives me flashbacks to covid. juggling sick kids, childcare, and work schedules 😮‍💨

we need to storm SAS and free this domain. such BS they've squatted it.

How did Elastic adding a more open source license not make the rounds when they announced it?? www.elastic.co/blog/elastic...

see? @jlowin.dev was right - you should've changed your title to analytics engineer!

the lesson here is don't let your kids grow up to be a data engineer

so I use SwiftKey on ios and it's better than the native keyboard but it still sucks. the swipe gesture doesn't spell very common words. "I'm at the aurora" instead of "airport" 🙄

How many of these (very real!) Texas towns can you pronounce? Mexia Gruene Refugio Humble New Braunfels Boerne Lazbuddie Waxahachie Palestine Burnet Manor Iraan Study Butte Jiba Dumas Luckenbach Palacios Nacogdoches Uhland Pyote Yoakum Bowie Elgin Buda Bosque Bexar

I wonder what it's like for folks who outsource their thinking on an topic this much. Probably very highly paid sadly...

I need a 10 minute max recap for The Stormlight Archive. I started reading this series during covid and I remember ~50% of it... I don't want to have to reread everything... but also it's so good...

Hey #databs - what data conferences are you planning to go to in 2025? Could be anything, vendor-specific or not.

modern LLM-based application development is wild

bsky features I want: * collapsible threads * swipe to dismiss posts I've already seen * bookmarks maybe the guy who made the Apollo reddit app will make an app for here 🤞

I got this working and it feels so magical. Was able to update some data pipelines just by asking Claude. FastMCP was great - the browser based debugger helped tremendously. I had Claude write the whole server . py file (with a few changes) after feeding it our openapi spec and the fastMCP readme.
