These services are super expensive nowadays. By the time you add service fee, delivery fee and tips, your cold and soggy burger starts to get quite expensive.

Python in a Notebook is “REPL like” and much more modern. And though I agree low code is important, Streamlit or Dash are a much more fully featured and open way to do that. I agree KDB has a good development workflow, but I think the same

I run a data consultancy with a big focus on ClickHouse. There is a lot of interest in replacing KDB with it. I’ve had probably 10 conversations with companies looking at a migration. Tellingly, nobody has pulled the trigger on a migratio

I would encourage you to look at recruiters more as partners or as an unpaid sales team. They are out there speculatively busting their ass and building relationships with buyers. I run my own business and would pay 10% commission in excha

There was a press release on the same day talking about how Oracle, Microsoft and OpenAI have a deal for burst capacity. That may be connected.

Not everyone can but most founders I know could be earning a very high salary in industry.

I think it’s entirely reasonable for a founder to take money off the table. The founder possibly walks away from a 6-7 figure opportunity cost working for a big corporate or FAANG. In return they take zero salary. All of the money that beg

I haven’t heard that saying before but it certainly feels correct. I know a few successful people who don’t seem particularly bright or analytical, but keep pushing on in the misguided belief that things will work out. And sometimes they

People on minimum wage don’t get a chance to build savings are probably living month to month. Though it’s not an earth shattering of money it is meaningful to a lot of people.

I think there is way too much scope for bad actors in this. The employer holds all of the information and all of the cards. I was a tier 1 significant common shareholder in my own company and saw a bunch of shenanigans. The rank and file

You have to wonder if remote work is starting to bite developers. 10 year ago I started a business that had hundreds of engineers in London and New York. I am now starting a new one and this time I am hiring talent from all over the world n

Just because you decide to split things like this doesn’t mean it’s sexist. I earnt a lot more than my wife did and we jointly decided she would stay at home for a few years and I would throw myself into work to cover the family income. I w

There are lots of projects who have managed to achieve this. Streaming frameworks like Kafka Streams and Flink have incrementally updating tables in memory. Materialize is built around the concept with a Postgres compatible API. ClickHouse

It definitely seems like the wise thing to do. There are enough reports of these events even if your risk of being caught up in one is low.

This is how I always worked over a 15 year developer career. I’d get in at 6 maybe take a 2 hour lunch break and then put a few more hours in until around 4pm as a standard pattern. The vast majority of useful work I ever did was between t

That is a fair point and I can see how the amount of prompt engineering would reduce. However, even a human has to be told how to solve a task, what tools are available to them, and how to stay within guardrails. Prompt engineering is how

The article tries to make the point that they sound like nonsense buzzwords, but I believe there is some actual depth there. I would be interested whether or not you agree with that central point?

I’m not sure it requires studying, but it isn’t easy and it definetly requires practice. You need to write incredibly detailed descriptions as to how the agents should behave, how they should reason and how they should use the tools availab

It’s funny how a lot of the practices at small scrappy software companies persist even at Temenos $X00m scale. Sales guys selling stuff that doesn’t yet exist, doing funky deals to hit the quarters numbers, selling far too much bespoke work

This is an old sub-thread now, but I would agree that dbt is a very simple idea and easy to use at its core. Store your models in text files, in git, add a dag. It’s easy to use and very lightweight so I don’t see any reason to roll your
