Haters gonna hate but I love wild data. It just doesn't hit the same after all the little human footprints are scrubbed clean #databs

Hit my goal early this year 🌟 (and made a chart of course #databs)

Chart with title "2025 Goal Progress". Horizontal axis from January 1st to December 31st. Vertical axis from 0 to 100. Light blue area chart went up to about 20 around the end of March, plateaued until mid August, climbed up to 50 by end of September and climbed further to 100 by beginning of December.

You are faced with two data sources. One mostly tells the truth, the other sometimes lies. They never answer your questions at the same time. A small mob of stake-holders is demanding a fresh and perfectly trustworthy report of events. In short, you are utterly and completely fucked. Luckily, ...

What's awesome about building open source is that you don't have to worry about sales prospects. For example, using your favourite animal stacking poo cubes as the logo for a data preparation tool, is a totally valid option. #databs

Drawing of a wombat with clean, simple lines. The gray wombat is sitting and stacking three rounded cubes in front of it. The cubes are brown. To the left of the wombat, in light brown, the letters of PyStack't are stacked a bit jumbly in three rows: p y - s t a - c k 't.

was just reminded of how much I love the debugging manifesto poster that Inner Loop Press designed for Wizard Zines, you can get it for $20 US + shipping here: store.wizardzines.com/products/pos... I'm SO delighted with how it turned out (also for more of Inner Loop's work: www.innerloop.press)

a debugging manifesto poster, risograph printed, neon pink and blue

* inspect, don’t squash
* being stuck is temporary
* trust nobody and nothing
* it’s probably your code
* don’t go it alone
* there’s always a reason
* build your toolkit
* it can be an adventure

Today we're launching DuckLake, an integrated data lake and catalog format powered by SQL. DuckLake unlocks next-generation data warehousing where compute is local, consistency central, and storage scales till infinity. ⁠ducklake is an open standard and we implemented it in the "ducklake" extension.

My graph visualization project train arrived at station "nice from afar, messed up from up close", which holds true for real processes too so I think it's on the right track #databs

Screenshot of in-browser Dash app hosted at http://127.0.0.1:8050/. The title reads "Interactive object-centric process visualizations". Below is a card with title "Life cycle of a GitHub issue" that shows a zoomed out graph visualization of multi-colored nodes connected by grey edges. Nodes are clustered in light-gray rectangles.

Same app, but now the graph visualization is zoomed in. There are lots of overlapping edges and labels, making it seem messy and hard to see the overview.
