UI based flows for integrations are as bad as UI based flows for ETL. For some reason, we managed to move past UI to code for ETL, but now we are taking the exact same path for integrations. Integrations are complex, you might have complex

It depends. I was in a demo call from Blaze, a CDP (Customer Data Platform), Segment.io competitor. Their underlying db seems to be MongoDB and for a CDP makes a lot of sense. In a CDP you collect all kind of data on n hard ids that identif

A little out of topic. We (dyvenia) are not in SF but we hire only hybrid roles in Krakow with min 2 days of office work. While this might not help you, I just wanted to say that to us full remote doesn't work, especially in a time whe

Taxes are a problem but the work culture is also an issue. I tried to setup shop in Italy last year and it was... a mess. People not joining calls, broken English, a very concerning lack of trust in general from job candidates. I was offeri

Data and Integrations. Applications are mostly a way to produce and transform data. When you buy a lot of applications all trying to keep data locked in their systems, you cannot easily build BI, ML, AI or simply Automation models because d

In spirit, but with no UI, vega js, they follow the same “grammar of graphics” idea from the same research. Altair does vega charting but in Python. Kibana is using vega in more UI fashion but I haven’t tested it. I think someone should put

I had a corporate job for 9 years, did some freelancing on the side until I got a big client. Now I have a team of close to 20 people, a few good clients (referrals work wonders) and a MRR of 110k after 6 months. I have jumped into entreneu

I have hired many people here in Poland leaving their prior job after 8 months or less, it’s ok if they can explain why. If you have 10 years of work experience you know what to do already, stay or leave are both reasonable options, it depe

This is quite normal in big companies and it doesn’t just apply to building stuff, buying stuff has the same problem. Managers will propose a certain product vendor and after roll out will continue to support it, no matter the consequences.

care to tell us what specific similarities you see between MS Access and this? I worked with Access and it had a few issues, it could be buggy and it did not support multiple users nor logins or sso.

I was trying to figure out how support works for remote.ok and nomadlist.com, both Pieter’s products, short story: there is none. I got caught by lack of support for these SaaS multiple times for my company, it’s not fun. As a company owner

I think databricks is not that well positioned. Every Cloud vendor has cloned it already and when going from exploring data to deploying code it is not that appealing. We had big vendors locking Enterprise in the past, I am not so sure we w

I think Uber might be right here. EU labor laws protect a few but over a certain salary they are not very appealing. In Italy paying a net salary of 2,000 euros will cost the company 6000+. Things included like pension are not worth their c

I see this tendency of solo projects a lot in developers. My experience has been quite the opposite, I started to get traction as entrepreneur after accepting the idea that I needed a team. My business sells b2b so maybe it is different, bu

Most of the time I spend with devs is figuring out objects and their respective data models. Low code is great but it sure doesn’t save 10x on resources, not for me at least.

It is very clear that they are useful but it is also very clear that they can be problematic. In Finance people check each number - multiple times per day - because there is no way to write tests in Excel. Sounds good? Until you can trust t

My own lesson is to crunch the financials, always. Truth is when I crunch the numbers I almost always end up with the same result: if I am going to invest my own time and money, I must go b2b and charge >=100k per client. I can never fin

Kubernetes is complex ok but I disagree on cloud providers offering better alternatives, especially Azure. Azure is bug ridden and support depends on what type of price tier you are in. The thing with Cloud providers is when their services

Hi there, I think we are both based out of Krakow? Anyway, how does Enso fit in the Cloud ecosystem? Basically all data analytics is moving over to Cloud the way I see it with CI/CD and version control practices becoming more the norm.
