To be fair they could have done an experiment on a transaction that typically requires a person in the loop. Rather than choosing a vending machine which, already, does not require a person in the loop for the transaction.

Interesting choice of Pandas in this day and age. Maybe he’s after imparting general concepts that you could apply to any tabular data manipulator rather than selecting for the latest shiny tool.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Agreed, but maybe the step change there is refactoring the data model, not continuing to author “hairy” sql via LLM that’s all fine until it breaks… and you end having to mend the nastiness back into compliance the ol’ fashion way

What is the human need to bash SQL at all costs? At its core, such a simple syntax, yet its so powerful at aggregating/manipulating tabular data and the like. Instead we’d rather declaratively say what we want in a more verbose/d

Do you have any data to backup the claim: “vast majority of companies understand suck cost fallacy.” I’m assuming you meant “sunk” not “suck”. Not familiar with the suck fallacy.

So sad. Humans are so smart and yet soooo dumb.

I feel like this is more an example of: “We filtered first instead of reading an entire table from disk and performing a lookup” Where both OLAP and OLTP dbms would benefit. To your point, it’s clear certain workloads lend themselves to OLA

Exactly. “Everything is urgent” is the great burden of our time lol

I love a semantic layer as much as the next guy... Pivoting a decent sized BI shop toward using one instead of splashing the same SQL all over the place is *tough*. It's one of those: "the analyst could have been building importan

I always do that when working with a new cloud provider. I spend our Series A as fast as possible after which we can optimize cloud spend!

Another great way to increase your surface area for luck is being born in a first world country with access to a computer. I hear that has a good success rate!

Too many factors to possibly diagnose if “it’s you”, or even if there is something “to fix”. Anecdotally, I desire to hang out with people who share my interests and want to do similar activities that we both enjoy. I’m a few years removed

Eh it's not that bad, lived in Phoenix for 25 years so I'm used to it... vacation weather for 7 months of the year. Great access to nature. There's always trade-offs no matter where you live.

All excellent points. The best is when most workloads on the cluster use a temp table with an identical name. Then someone comes along and accidentally drops the TEMP from the their temp table ctas and it gets smashed into the public schema

Steering has gone out twice on a family member’s Model Y. N=1 example but plenty of other companies now make EVs and they do a decent job of it… shedding 29% still leaves the company at an astronomical valuation, ~100bn larger market cap th

“Responses to questions range from "I don't know, I was just told" to "Let me get back to you"” I assumed you meant that this created a sense of reflection in the requester as to the value of their ask.

Fair point, I think I’m approaching that view of just doing it, but I’m not quite there yet. You said it yourself that at least it makes them question the value of said task… and I don’t think bringing it up shines back on me negatively. Re
