I wish there was a way for the dbt Cloud Explore DAG to filter to content that exists *between* two nodes. Anyone know of a fun work-around for this with other tools? #dataBS

It's fun to work on challenging problems. It's *more* fun to work on them as a team. It's the *most* fun when you have a smart teammate who finally cracks the code. Data is a team sport! #dataBS

dbt job: "Can't parse a JSON blob, I'm out." me: *looks for a needle in the 100M-row haystack* me: "Aha! This looks fine? Guess I'll paste it in a text editor to double check." text editor: "Uh, boss" me: "Is that...is that a tiny red 'BS'?" BS broke my data. I can't make this shit up. #dataBS

Life is messy. So is analytics engineering. Sometimes your warehouse looks like the "clothes pile" your partner has been slowly building in the corner of your closet. The good news is that you CAN make your warehouse a wareHOME. And that I wrote you a how-to guide. tinyurl.com/5h35ktj2 #dataBS

10x analytics engineering tip for the week of Thanksgiving: If you're stuck on a problem, let its solution bake in the recesses of your mind while you bake an actual pie. Whether the solution comes to you matters not, because it's a holiday week. And you end up with pie. #dataBS

I am convinced that the YML-based semantic layer was as much invented by a data professional as the stiletto heel was invented by a woman (the stiletto heel was invented by a man) #dataBS

Do I know anyone in #dataBS who has built out a fairly full-scale metrics layer in MetricFlow (dbt) or Cube? Looking for someone who'd connect for ~30 with someone on my team starting the process for us at Hex!
