Before getting into what this means, let's first discuss how we got here
A trend I'm excited for this year: DataOps & the Analytical Engineer
~10 years ago DevOps was born. The role of system admins and developers merged. Infrastructure became self-serve
Today the role of data engineers and business analysts are merging. Data is becoming self-serve
Before getting into what this means, let's first discuss how we got here
Tools like Informatica / Talend were used to batch load (ETL) data into these databases, Tableau used to visualize
Then in 2013 AWS released their cloud data warehouse Redshift, and it was a game changer. Snowflake was founded in 2012, but didn't really pick up steam until a few years later (around 2016)
1. It was the first cloud-native OLAP warehouse. It reduced the TCO of an OLAP database by orders of magnitude.
2. Speed of processing analytical queries increased dramatically
What does this all mean? An EXPLOSION of data
Now, after this point we still weren't ready for DataOps / Analytical Engineers. What did it take to get there?
1. Data Movement: @fivetran
2. Data storage / compute: @SnowflakeDB @awscloud @GCPcloud
3. Data Transformations: @getdbt
When data access becomes democratized and self-serve in nature, the need for new tools to manage this "modern data stack" goes up. I think we'll see a TON of huge companies built in the following categories:
2. Monitoring the quality of the data (and pipelines) will become increasingly important in self-serve settings. "Datadog for data"

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.
This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/

Ok, I’ve told this story a few times, but maybe never here. Here we go. 🧵👇
I was about 6. I was in the car with my mother. We were driving a few hours from home to go to Orlando. My parents were letting me audition for a tv show. It would end up being my first job. I was very excited. But, in the meantime we drove and listened to Rush’s show.
There was some sort of trivia question they posed to the audience. I don’t remember what the riddle was, but I remember I knew the answer right away. It was phrased in this way that was somehow just simpler to see from a kid’s perspective. The answer was CAROUSEL. I was elated.
My mother was THRILLED. She insisted that we call Into the show using her “for emergencies only” giant cell phone. It was this phone:
I called in. The phone rang for a while, but someone answered. It was an impatient-sounding dude. The screener. I said I had the trivia answer. He wasn’t charmed, I could hear him rolling his eyes. He asked me what it was. I told him. “Please hold.”
Wish I had the audio of Rush Limbaugh telling me off on the phone on his show when I was six. In the meantime, RIP.

One of the best decisions I made during a very turbulent 2020 was to leave conventional coding behind and embrace the #nocode movement. @bubble made this a reality. Although my own journey thus far is premature, I’ve learned a lot so here’s a power thread on....
‘How I created @buildcamp sales funnel landing page in under 2hours’.

Power thread here 👇
1. Started with a vanilla bubble app ensuring that all styles and UI elements were removed. Created a new page called funnel and set the page size to 960px as this allows the page to render proportionately on both web and mobile when hitting responsive breakpoints.
2. Began dropping elements onto the page to ‘find the style’. These had to be closely aligned to our @buildcamp branding so included text, buttons and groups - nothing too heavy. Played around with a few fonts, colors and gradients and thus pinned down the following style guide.
3. Started to map out sections using groups as my ‘containers’ to hold the relevant information and imagery needed to pad out the sales pitch. At this point, they were merely blocks of color #ff6600 with reduced opacity set to 5% to ease page flair.
