Data News — Week 24.12

Christophe Blefari

Friday routine ( credits ) It's Friday and it's Data News. I don't go into too much detail about the magic of Data News, but every Friday is the same. At first, I'm: oh s**t, here we go again and 10 minutes later I'm lost in reading the content and picking too many articles to fit into a thousand word edition. Usually all the process takes me a whole Friday.

We all need recommendations ( credits ) When I started writing this newsletter nearly three years ago, I never imagined that the words I write on my keyboard would take such an important place in my life. All the interactions I have with you, whether online or offline, are always amazing and give me wings. Today I want to introduce a new feature in the Data News galaxy.

Data News — Week 24.09

Christophe Blefari

Mistral ( credits ) Hello all, this is the Data News, this week edition might be smaller than usual in term of comments as I'm working on a Data News related project that takes me a bit of time, which will probably lead to a series of articles. Before I forget I've appeared on The Joe Reis Show , we chatted with Joe about data engineering teaching, why it is hard and about generative AI that will change education for ever.

Data News — Week 24.08

Christophe Blefari

My ideas these days ( credits ) Hey, fresh Data News edition. This week I've participated to a round table about data and did a cool presentation about Engines. The idea was to depict the history of engines over the last 40 years and what leads to polars and DuckDB. Obviously the I forgot a few things and I'll do a more complete v2 soon. This is my third presentation about DuckDB in the last 3 months and I think I'll slow down a bit until I get new crazy things to share.

Is the modern data stack disappearing?

Christophe Blefari

No. This question generated a lot of content last week, and a lot of words were written. I wanted to keep my answer short so as not to burden you with a few thousand more words to read. Modern data stack has been coined by US companies and VCs—mainly Fivetran / dbt Labs—as a word to quickly emphasis a way to build data stack in the cloud related to ELT.
