A few years ago I wasn’t sure, who was going to win, Golang seemed to be popular, and still is for that matter. When I first wrote a little Golang (~2+ years ago) I was just trying to see what the hype was all about. The funny thing is, at the time, and today, it […] The post Why did Golang lose to Rust for Data Engineering? appeared first on Confessions of a Data Guy.

I was recently confronted with an interesting conundrum when writing a complex data pipeline. It was an interesting problem that arose from my quest to reduce complexity in part of the design, which found itself creeping into another part, re-enforcing the classic idea of whether you can really make the complexity pea go away, or […] The post If:Else Logic and Complexity – Hiding the Pea. appeared first on Confessions of a Data Guy.

The tweet received strong reactions on LinkedIn and Twitter. To clarify, I quoted it as a Notebook-style development, but it is not exactly a Notebook. There is a lot of context missing in that tweet, so I decided to write a blog about it. People have reservations about using tools like Jupytor Notebook for the production pipeline for a good reason.

To accurately answer business questions using LLMs, companies must augment models with their data. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a popular solution to this problem, as it integrates the organization’s factual, real-time data into the prompt for the LLM. While the adoption of RAG has increased, an open question remains: How do enterprises know how effective their system is?

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
