Some open-source Spark drama if you want some

Executives: "We need Gen AI"
Engineers:

Debugging is horrid.

Mentally I’m still at JDK 8 and 11. 23!

What would it take for people on LinkedIn to stop posting about Deepseek?
I think we should shut it down for a few days and see if people care about it.
Most are chasing the trend and spewing random posts.

I learn more about American culture daily. Thanks Bluesky.

Why bother being a coffee shop. 6:00 am or 7:00am. Anything after is unacceptable.

How would this integrate? Perhaps enhancing the Dynamic tables?

When they invite the Engineer to present to the C Suite

Me and capitalism

It’s telling how AI as an industry is progressing when you see the people freaking out about Deepseek are mostly VCs.

Deepseek is everywhere.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

Found this comprehensive guide to AI and how to make sense of the various concepts.

Tomorrow is restart your Apple TV+ subscription for Severance Season 2 day.
Also, maybe catch Silo.
And re watch Slow Horses.
It’s going to be a long work day sigh.

Was the quary move an acqui-hire? I heard it was a couple of engineers a few months ago to help with speed ups and the news was released to coincide with the dbt news.

@dipankartnt.bsky.social if I know him well enough he might have something in the works too

Onehouse with their Compute Runtime across table formats. It seems like a good direction but I’m curious if those benchmarks are accurate. 30x query perf, 10x faster writes, I wish there was a demo or something to showcase these.

Tomorrow

A way to store my data so it has all the info I need and allows me to access it cleanly

Makes me want to go back to my Breaking Spark talk and say, "When it doesn't Spark joy"

I still use sculpt. Been on it for years. I have the Kinesis advantage but never made the shift.

Congratulations

The transformation game is back on again

Didn’t read it correct and thought it was about wine

They couldn’t “transform” the previous one.

SQL will outlive us all

Some Cloud vendors barely have much of a moat but tiny VC funded startups think they have a moat because of one project. Funny.

Honestly after learning it, Scala isn’t bad. Used to build Spark apps on Scala for a bit.

I remember a time when Spark used to ignore developing in Python. All dev was in Scala and Java, Python was an afterthought. That changed as the Python data ecosystem evolved.
