Moses

In a keynote speech to a gathering of Christian nationalist lawmakers Tuesday night, House Speaker Mike Johnson compared himself to Moses, leading the GOP conference — and America — through the parted waters of the Red Sea.  Johnson addressed the National Association of Christian Lawmakers at the group’s award gala at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Perhaps unaware that the event was being recorded for the NACL Facebook page, Johnson told the crowd: “I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here.”…

Before meeting Nicholas Craven in the heart of the pandemic, Mike Shabb knew he had to make a change in his approach if he wanted to capitalize on his potential. Though his earlier music leaned heavily on what was trendy at the time, Shabb loved what Griselda was up to and realized he could make a career of it. He conducted research on the group’s producers, eventually learning that Nicholas Craven was behind the production of some of the most prevalent rappers in the drumless-loop scenes. Shabb sent Craven a collection…

Data teams are more important than ever before — but they need to get closer to the business. Here’s how we can right the ship.Image courtesy of Daniel Lerman on Unsplash.Over the past decade, data teams have been simultaneously underwater and riding a wave.We’ve been building modern data stacks, migrating to Snowflake like our lives depended on it, investing in headless BI, and growing our teams faster than you can say reverse ETL. Yet, much of the time we didn’t know whether or not these tools are actually bringing…

It’s a sentiment that we wholeheartedly endorse, but we like to take it a little bit further — you should be thinking about data governance differently.In this article, I’ll share six of the top reasons that we have seen data governance…

Comedian Moses Storm was 16 when he first learned to read and write."I have the equivalent of maybe a second-grade education," he said. For much of his childhood, he lived on a bus with his single mother and five siblings, not knowing where he'd wake up the next day.During those tumultuous years, Moses, 32, became obsessed with the art of making people laugh. Whenever his family had access to a television, he'd watch Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Comedy was a distraction from the fact that he often didn't have enough to…

What’s in store for the future of data engineering? In this article, I share some of my topline predictions for 2023 — and beyond.End of the year prediction articles are hokey, but they serve a purpose. They help us rise above the daily grind and consider where to place our longer term bets.They also tend to be an exercise in humility as we try to paint a coherent “big picture” of an industry that is rapidly evolving in multiple directions. I challenge anyone to find an industry where more is required of its practitioners…
