Very cool! Do you anticipate going more towards improving the data modelling capabilities (take on dbt et al) or more towards Business Intelligence (dashboards then hosting then drag&drop query builder all the way until the dreaded pdf

People get pretty far with tablet apps these days (literally), and there is a good market for the development of the apps. Hardware integration is always the challenge. See 59-north for examples of offshore sailing schools who seem to have

Fair enough, my experience is European where you usually have multiple options and most people decide by price. I will say I was amazed by how few options I had to get from JFK to Denver and the price was insane relative to a transatlantic

Having lived in Palma I can confirm that this is indeed a decent way to avoid the two nightmare tourist areas (and not just a population density, as the central Palma area would be larger). I like this idea for proxy maps. Do the same for L

Lending to a group of companies, one company owning multiple. We see this where owner wants to sell and the acquisition process then includes an additional company for various reasons.

A very real pain, especially in my experience with commercial lending. Do you cater to more complex credit products like loans to support acquisitions? These often require servicing of multiple companies in a group. This multi-entity requir

I was expecting company data but e-commerce data also makes sense. Do you have a sense for how people store, transform, organise, model the data once they have bought it? Is it typically data warehouse and dbt or straight into a data scienc

Along these lines, but the other direction and something I've seen developing is niche expert local forecasts. I follow a few, surfing, sailing etc. Surfline [1] do an excellent (paid) regional analysis, and the best aspect is the long

The evidence points to demand for data engineers declining on a relative basis to other data roles, following the data science trajectory. Agree or disagree? Maybe the analysis as to _why_ is wrong, but that is what I'm trying to unpac

It would be useful to give more clarity around your thoughts on the "Data Engineer" role. Is it also in decline? Is the market as a whole in a relative decline? (I wrote a blog [1] making a call that Data Engineering was likely al

I like that you improve on the underlying database error messages, as they are really unhelpful, and I think this is a great place to add value. I've been keeping track of a few dbt alternatives. Dbt have opened up the market to this u
