Yeah, dbt snapshots do a row hash and update if anything in the row changes. We had a source table that had a bunch of daily changing timestamps, e.g. "load date", that we needed to ignore, and focus on a business key. Dbt was an

Having used it for a little over a year now, I can say that it's strengths may lie in getting junior developer's code more free of bugs and dependency issues. It's just additional overhead when you're trying to do anythi

Having worked in the bowels of a major online retailers networking team during black Friday sales, I can say that a lot of the patterns you see in this UI are real. People do indeed get out of bed at ungodly hours of the morning to get two

I'd feel sorry for anyone who hacked booking.com, they'd end up trying to decipher several petabytes of email data saying basically, "stop sending me hotel offers in Outer Mongolia!"

Nuclear energy is THE power source of NIMBY-ism, relatively clean, ecological, always available but just so long as it's next door to somebody else. The Germany plans to do away with this power source with come back to bite them badly

I had a similar experience where the entire marketing and BI teams (BI was part of marketing) were called into a meeting at short notice. Everyone expecting layoffs or some such bad news. Turned out the guy heading up marketing was leaving,

This advice is spot on, never, under any circumstances say more in an exit interview than some blithe meaningless words. "I'm looking for a new challenge", "I want to change career direction", etc. Nothing will come

This is a fantastic resource, great to see someone reconstructing a hill fort, even virtually, that's north of the border. I'd love to see something about the vitrified forts ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V

Berlin has all the benefits and little to none of the disadvantages of a place like London. Why does a place need to be diverse to be great? Does the absence of a heap of Mincéirs make a city worse?

In fairness, we're only hearing one side of the argument here. It's easy enough for anyone to say they're hard-working diligent team players, but we don't know if they're getting the work done! Don't get me wro

Kudos to the team, and the market fit for this is more and more the fact that it's NOT Google, and therefore at least somewhat trustworthy. More power to you guys and here's hoping for 10x ARR this this 12 months.

Amen, this is the unvarnished truth. I suppose it's easier to overlook the employees and knowledge you have. If I stayed in the same company for the past ten years I'd bet on less than half of what I'm on now
