I've heard Other Mommy was bad. I can confirm that it is true and encourage others to not spend the time on it. 📽️

I need a primer on how to kill metric seeking behavior in orgs. An unrelenting need to have good news for clients and execs hides the actual work of making things better.

My job requires me to generate reports for other companies across a few industries. It's funny that some places only want pdfs of data. Like... I really hope you aren't typing this stuff in manually.

Stirring some shit at my company because my semantic layer -> SQL agent is writing better queries than the historical SQL context -> SQL model we are currently using

Vibecoded the gui. User requests data, agent reads Ossie model as context, returns semantically valid query for user review & can be run against redshift tables with df presented to user.

Got back around to this today. It's now a 600 line yaml file and the agent is pretty good at writing semantically valid sql. Wish Cube was Ossie compatible - craving a gui to play around the model with

Going to see what implementing Ossie semantic spec does for our agentic analytics. Right now we are a tableau shop but unwilling to pay for tableau semantic/data360.

Until recently my inclination was to not trust LLMs with data summaries. Now, I think it's mostly fine if a. your data size is very small, b. you don't ask for it to do math (eg. calculate percentages), and c. your metrics & dimensions are defined well in the prompt.

My team's current analytics: Python & SQL stored in Github run in Airflow, presented in Tableau or emailed reports, with some adoption of AI in dashboard summaries & emailed performance wrapups.

Redshift why do you reorder the field and the modifying parameter? To_date(iso_date_str, "yyyymmdd") but date_trunc('month', date_col). Fix yourself.

Does anyone like combined metrics? I'm talking like adding page views + purchases + impressions into a single metric between 0 and 1. I pretty much hate the kind of discussions these metrics create. One metric can require some context and nuance, 3? Anarchy.

Movie theater gripe. If you have assigned seating, it should be clear which seat is which. If the seat number is indicated on the arm rest that separates two seats, how am I supposed to know which seat that refers to
