The battle between data warehouses. Redshift vs. Snowflake vs. BigQuery vs. Databricks, with humor. Now it’s left open for someone from #FabricCommunity to write the Fabric (or maybe retro Synapse entry) comes into play. open.substack.com/pub/dataen…
Aight, Seattle. I’m here. Let #PASSDataSummit co…ntinue, with me joining the fray.
I came back to this platform for a moment to note one thing: #PassDataSummit is happening, and I'm ready for Tuesday morning and seeing old faces. Had stepped away for the last year, but then was encouraged to come back.
There's some good PostgreSQL, Fabric, and Databricks (my new pet) content this year which has me hyped. Also proud to present after being convinced to follow up, complete with a Community Zone Q&A. My community excitement has returned. passdatacommunitysummit.com/…

When people complain "the media isn't covering this," they usually mean national cable TV news are focused on some other story.
So turn it off, seek out the (often local) outlets that are covering it...and amplify their work by sharing it
So yesterday, I got out of my malaise and back on the #tsql2sday tip, talking with my past self: ceedubvoss.com/t-sql-tuesday…
I came here just to rag on @AmericanAir for not having it together when it comes to plane maintenance. It’s like they want me to not look forward to tomorrow.
I’ve caught bits and pieces of the Olympic Trials, and that women’s 5000m final with Cranny & St. Pierre kicking it to the end was seriously hype.
Also, did anyone else catch the @SirWalterRun crew in the front row during the post-race interview? Keep me honest on my vision.

There is a small subset of Very Online people who contaminate the most joyful things in life by shoehorning everything through the lens of irrelevant culture war battles and it is both fascinating & sad

Saw this picture, immediately thought someone had spiked my drink with bad acid.
Considering all of Databricks’ other recent moves, @redgate getting in on this has me excited.

Surely we can recognize the absurdity that is Queers for Palestine, Fatties for Palestine et al without being all “Oh, gee. Too bad Hamas wouldn’t even rape them.”
Maintaining that all humans have worth even if we disagree with them is what sets us apart from the monsters.
If @JordanRuntagh and @Steven_Hyden were to bring back the Rivals podcast, I can only wonder how lame or enthralling a "Peter Cetera vs. Chicago" episode would be, particularly if the true winner of the feud is The Ghost of Terry Kath.

Dear #SQLSaturday organizers: Before posting the event schedule, please let the unsuccessful submitters know.
Session is in. I know there is a specialty of mine that is popular, and I found something new to discuss over the last week.
Let conference season commence.
