This might solve a problem I have right now - I’m persisting a kafka topic to clickhouse using the clickhouse kafka engine and realized that to get reliable monitoring on this pipeline I’ll have to roll my own service that polls clickhouse

This looks great. I love notebooks but struggle with the version control + editing experience. This looks like it will alleviate some of those issues for sure.

I really like this documented type ignore strategy and will start incorporating it in our codebase. Thanks for sharing.

100%, well put. Our energy markets team is larger than our engineering team :). But it's also certainly a technology problem in that meeting each market's idiosyncratic requirements requires technology.

Yep, much of the same team, with a different strategy (more tech-focused and participation in more energy market programs). Regulation of DERs largely killed EnerNoc, now Enel X, and the like. Voltus' CEO helped repeal the order[1], en

I totally agree with this point, but the author confusingly doesn't seem to agree: > Cause and effect will fool you: in a world where everything is looping, there is no cause or effect. But there is purpose, and purpose moves in one

Since some experts get some things wrong some of the time, we should not trust any people who study things deeply. Anecdotal evidence is the only real truth.
