Innovation is the open-source language, which you can think of as markdown for dashboards. * one simple file with queries/charts/layout that you own, can live in git next to rest of your data stack * format can be used with AI to get what you want in a much cleaner fashion 👀 dbtcharts.com/language/

We are open-sourcing dbt Charts: a clear language for describing and rendering dashboards from a single YAML file. It makes smarter, prettier dashboards that you own, all while saving you tokens. 📈 dbtCharts.com

TIL it's theorized that ancient Egyptians MAY have used electric catfish to treat migraines: they knew about their electric properties and live electric-animal medicine was documented (later) by ancient Romans.
