Yes I'm a Product and Content Marketer
Yesterday was mostly for an agric tech company that I promote for on LinkedIn.
I'm still open for more partnership deals.
You've got a product that needs to be seen and used? I'm just a DM away.

Don’t ever let the way things look today make you forget what God can do tomorrow.

Iceberg and Delta Lake aren't just about storing Parquet files.
Snapshot isolation, schema evolution and time travel make large datasets much easier to manage.
The table format is becoming a pretty important architecture decision.

AI companies:
“our new model thinks for 10x longer”
me watching it arrive at the same wrong answer:
incredible 😒

nothing humbles you faster than an AI confidently explaining why the code it wrote 30 seconds ago is completely wrong

unpopular opinion:
AI companies are focusing too much on benchmark rankings.
Most developers just want an agent that finishes a task without breaking three other things.
Reliability > leaderboard scores.
WDYT?

A pipeline can finish successfully and still deliver wrong data.
No failed tasks. No alerts. Just incorrect numbers in a dashboard or an AI feature.
Freshness, uniqueness and distribution checks matter as much as job status.

Stop measuring the value of a day only by how much work you completed.
A good conversation with your parents is valuable.
Taking your child somewhere is valuable.
Resting when you are exhausted is valuable.
Not everything important produces a measurable result.

I've had Twitter since 2009. This was back when you had to text your tweets.
I was a casual user for a long time but ended up dropping off.
I didn't realize this is where all the tech folks are at.
So I'm back.
I'm a former law enforcement officer turned IT/Info Sec guy. I build tools in GRC Engineering.
I'll be posting about AI, builds, gym, life, and everything in between.

AI agents that can write SQL are interesting.
Agents that understand table lineage, freshness, schema changes and downstream dependencies would be much more useful for data teams.

One thing about Spark: throwing more executors at a slow job doesn't always help.
Sometimes the actual issue is data skew, expensive shuffles or too many small files.
Check the execution plan before scaling the cluster.

Teach one Grok @bot a reusable skill. Your other bots can use it too.
My favorite is boring: check the team inbox before starting anything new. (Allows for multi model collab - bring all the friends together… dots, muse, Gemini, or Claude - they all check a folder first
Less exciting than another bot. More useful than two bots doing the same job.

Some of the smartest people in history are still teaching us today.
Great ideas survive because someone bothered to write them down clearly.

The AI race is getting weird.
One model wins the benchmarks, another feels better for coding, and a third is somehow cheaper.
How are we even supposed to pick one anymore?

Grok Bot tip people sleep on:
Don’t ask for another wall of text. Ask for a Page.
A dashboard you can reopen, share, and ask the bot to update.
Try: "Build me a Page that tracks my bots this week."
What would yours track?
