As always, well thought out and entertaining! Can't wait for the IPO or whatever is next though, gotta put those kids through college.

Good stuff. I hope they do well. I’ve always admired DSS and its ability to push down. When u writing a DataRobot article? We need a fresh take now the dust has settled.

Not sure. Since I still own my DR equity, it may not be fair for me to write about the company. Will think about it. Have a great Data + AI Summit!

Well written! I may have a new second favorite Substack data columnist (after Benn Stancil of course 🙂). A few nits. Are you equating lower-IQ with not knowing or caring about Python, K8S or LangChain? If so you need to get out more. There are talented people at Schlumberger (and SLB), DigiKey, FSRA, Maersk, and MercadoLibre who can’t even spell K8S. Secondly, is downloading to Excel bad? Studies have shown that most non-trivial workbooks have bugs, let alone version control and governance challenges, so isn’t it better to do as much data product development as possible in something else, like Dataiku? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/88-of-spreadsheets-have-errors-2013-04-17

Do you take requests? Alteryx and PowerBI?

Thanks for reading.

(1) "Are you equating lower-IQ with not knowing or caring about Python, K8S or LangChain?"

It's a joke.

(2) "is downloading to Excel bad? etc."

It's a joke. The point is there are a lot of business users who don't need advanced machine learning.

(3) "Do you take requests? Alteryx and PowerBI?"

More likely to look at AYX than Power BI. Neither is high priority, but reader interest matters.
