Great story on how @YipitData, a major financial data provider with over 15 PB of data, migrated from Hive to Unity Catalog to scale access management, decrease costs, and deliver data directly to customers via Delta Sharing.

interesting thread describing why platform teams are dead and why you need a platform team instead!
we've learned many of these lessons over the years as we evolved our infra platform at @yipitdata (started in 2013). infra diversity needs and dev expertise matters a ton
do you know any SREs interested in building a team to drive engineering cultural changes? pls send them to me! boards.greenhouse.io/yipitda…

Folks often ask me what I do at work. What even IS an engineering director? I don’t write code all day anymore, so it seems very mysterious. Here’s my answer: people, processes, priorities.
is Topgrading a bad interviewing tool when you want to build a diverse team? #hiring
yesterday I revisited @shieldsofdreams's post about writing good APIs: medium.com/yipitdata-enginee…
this podcast with @dhh was really insightful to me. it's not really about hotwire, it's about development pragmatism, knowing the cost of development, and picking the right tools *for your team and your context*: fullstackradio.com/151
Excellent answer. We should talk about this more often. Following your passion can be terrible advice. Carl Newport talks about it in the book "So Good They Can’t Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love"
The Maslow hierarchy in 2020:
Physiological: COVID health threat
Safety: police brutality and job layoffs
Belonging: families and friends separated
Self-esteem: big goals were put on the back burner
Self-actualization: many ppl picked up new hobbies! yay (still depressed tho)

Hotwire aka NEW MAGIC is finally here: An alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire. This includes our brand-new Turbo framework and pairs with Stimulus 2.0 😍🎉🥂 hotwire.dev
Many people advocate for strict 1:1 meeting agendas but I've been able to create much better relationships with a more flexible approach. shooting the shit and talking about life outside of work helps me help my direct reports
