If you're at Coalesce, your dbt is a mess, and you want $1000. keep reading! . The majority of teams implement dbt, and life is good. But as you scale, your model runtime gets longer, your warehouse costs skyrocket, and your team output slows down. Artemis monitors your.

Incredible work by @steventen and the whole team at MVD! . Rather than complain, they rolled up their sleeves, organized an incredible event, and inspired builders. This is the Canada I want to be a part of 👏.
It’s rare to see emergent artistic communities thrive. I’m proud to have been able to help @mvdemos_ do its thaaang. If MVD is the kind of phenomena you’d like to see more of in the universe, consider helping support event costs through the @opencollect here:

I created this chart using for a blog I am writing. At inception, eBay was the better company on paper: capital light, high margin, incredible growth. Over the long run, Amazon dominates because it owns the entire customer journey.

Tale of Two Strategies. When I look at Snowflake and Databricks, I see similarities between eBay and Amazon. When both companies were starting, eBay looked like the better company. It was asset-light, capital-light, had high margins and could scale way faster. Amazon, on the

@fahdananta The gov is meant to be the slowest moving capital allocator in the market, so when markets get frothy (08, covid) they can act to minimize impact. It is a much bigger problem when the gov thinks it can be the best capital allocator in an economy, like this gov is proposing.

A massive benefit of our product is that our platform automatically finds issues and optimizations in your stack and resolves them, reducing your warehouse costs. We cut a customer's warehouse costs by 20% in the first month, which is fantastic! But the real ROI isn't the.

This is fucking epic.
What if market research wasn't so… lonely? What if you could cover more ground listening to an earnings summary while checking a chart? Or even brew your morning coffee while your watchlist speaks to you?. Fey is making this possible, and to do so, we're giving it a voice. 🔊

@scottastevenson Dropping your expectations of yourself to create allows you to develop expectations of your creation as you build, hence tossing 80-90%.

@evansammccann @sauddaziz @tryvault Authentic founders sharing experiences gives people an insight into the grind of building, but more importantly, the fulfilment, joy, and competitive thrill of building. @evansammccann you sharing these moments is a huge lever to inspire builders to take the next step.

3 years ago I had a startup idea. While working w/ friends, a company (no joke) with the same idea and name raised $15 million in seed funding. I thought I missed my golden chance. A year later I co-founded my next startup. We did something I never thought was possible.

📢📢 ATTN data engineers: We've heard you don't trust AI agents because the use cases are not complex enough! . So we want to extend a challenge. Send us a complex use case or problem you run into when building models or working with dbt, and we will give it to Diana to solve.

Who doesn’t love a good analogy? . @artemis_data helps your teams stop paying for specific features. We help you start with a cohesive data platform which simplifies your day. (For a much cheaper price might we add).
What are we building? . We are building the iPhone of the Modern data stack. Stop buying an iPod, phone, camera, and a device to reach the internet, to accomplish the cohesive experience of iPhone (or @artemis_data). In this analogy we will let you switch the words.
