I think there's two factors at play here: 1) Specialized tools reduce the amount of engineering overhead. As a business, I primarily care about time to value. If I can use specialized SaaS to get my data centralized, clean, and synced

I think you're 100% right that the tasks that can be accomplished in Airflow are currently being unbundled by tools in the modern data stack, but that doesn't erase the need for tools like Airflow. Sure, you can now write less cod

While I'm not super familiar with Knime, it looks like it falls into the legacy BI category that Benn talks about. An "all-in-one" for your data. Is the platform still easily used by business users? Or does it primarily becom

I think that's a fantastic approach. You're effectively avoiding the pitfall of automating too soon while still shifting the focus towards "driving action with this data". If people click the buttons frequently, it'

The interesting point here is that the unbundling of BI is resulting in tools for every occasion. What I'm seeing on my end is that the "modern data stack" is starting to become very fragmented as a result. Sure, each of thes

I see things going the same direction. I've always been pretty anti-dashboard because of the lack of long-term utility. If you want to make data-driven decisions, you need to spend the time codifying the decision making process and aut

Generally, no. If the channels are themed tightly, it should give you a good idea of where to look. It also helps make it easier to filter in Slack's search. If you need to reference the conversation later, it should probably be linked

In Slack, an easy way to solve this is to enforce rules better. If not everyone needs to know about it, it doesn't need to be in a public channel. More channels might need to be created to narrow their focus (specific projects, specifi
