Back on YouTube and loving it — sharing technical walkthroughs on this new thing called "content engineering"
Playlist accruing here, more to come soon: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
Can anyone explain what happened w/ Google Data Studio? My understanding is the free product is basically unusable, and there's no self-serve paid product (only option is a classic Looker enterprise contract, which is out of bounds for most Data Studio users). What happened?
This stuff is next level, and will result in lower rates of carpal tunnel for anyone typing SQL

finally got the momentum rolling on a merch / shop for @BlueprintTrng.
the goal here isn't sales, it's deepening relationship w/ ppl in our ecosystem.
everything is print on demand, no need to ever touch inventory, shipping, etc.
what a time to be alive, right?

Amazed by the >4x cost reduction in computing resources just by using @getdbt with BigQuery for transforming analytics data
PSA: for pushing data from Sheets -> BQ, we recommend using this open-source script template (instead of our previously-published Add-on):

That's what we'll be updating / maintaining / using ourselves going forward.
The only Apps Script course I'm proud to promote (from @benlcollins) is 30% off starting today - Ben's teaching is second to none: rb.gy/vngezs
Prediction: if you work within the Google ecosystem (GA, Search Console, Google Ads, etc), by the end of 2021 you won't need 3rd-party tools to pipe data to BigQuery
I probably shouldn't have done this (don't tell anyone), but I just published our entire business process, from sales to hiring: learn.codingisforlosers.com/…
New "build your bigquery data pipeline" course coming this month! CIFL has made big strides in 2020 on the process front, looking forward to sharing what we've learned: youtu.be/hgUd7D1GS5g
