Tableau, Alteryx… We had some fun, didn’t we.
But you didn’t keep me around long enough.

LET ME HELP YOU WITH AI...
md files are like the pre-training, vs 'HEY BRO EAT THIS BIG FILE AND LIKE UNDERSTAND ALGORITHMS'

I used to focus on an area in data that many people are only good at a certain percentage. My idea, "okay I'll focus on 100%" and later learned this is impossible up front, but if you put in the work, it's possible to be good from end-to-end, then you progress to full-stack engineering..

I've been really head down lately because all the software I've created this year and released for free has gained the eyes of people who believe in me. That's a special thing because I'm just a person who was born and raised in New Llano, Louisiana and hustled to be good in tech.

Added new nodes to my #ETL #software which now is a #data #visualization software, which really makes me re-think this entire "ETL" terminology.
1. math, yes just math 1+1
([Column]+[Column])*.2
2. neon input, write to neon lake
- lets you begin reading tables in serverless #PostgreSQL
.. and more

07:05 X saves are UI-only
07:20 Mode-aware notifications; toast parity.

If I could findreplace() everyone using the word AI, when we all know it should be LLM, I think we would really lower the tempo/hype on this craze that #ai is here and in this spaghetti sub. But that's not possible. I prefer a person who knows this is the deep end and they are tiny fish in an ocean.

I love databases. I have a home because I do.
I made a family because I'm good.

However data types... I'm not sold. This can be assumed and inferred. If data is that dirty, I don't think data types is the problem at this point. ETL has taught me these things a necessary evil.

10+ years ago I drove from Austin to Dallas and showed my friend from college a pencil/paper sketch. He said, "this is a great idea, but we need funding."

10 years later, I build all of it by myself, we did our first code review..

#AI is patch work in modern #SaaS companies because the suggestion to bring it together was never considered due to the SKUs being individually sold. For many SaaS companies, AI isn't compatible, and used like tape. So.. at best it's basic & gimmicky.

biggest scare to big SaaS is now small teams.

im really blowing up on here.
September 9, 2025 at 10:01 PM
created
1 basic training withs screenshots
2 overview of core groups of nodes
3 overview of streaming engine
4 about page
5 landing page
6 And some node documentation.

Back in day i was writing about #alteryx, #Knime, #tableau, today I'm doing it on an #ETL #app i built.

Excited to move the needle

A person spammed me about their personal wealth business. So I figured I'd give him my ETL software for free because I need feedback, I asked for 5 minutes. Their response "No. I'm good." But meanwhile, he wants to manage my wealth. Hold on here mate, you don't have 5 minutes, and need my money.

Building an #ETL tool from scratch:
Sunday; gained 1 new teammate
Monday; 2 demos

1. demo 1, Lee, he's very impressed, planned to talk 5 mins, talked for over 1 hour, he bought 6 hours for custom consulting and suggested i gain 5 testers and a 1 page/explainer.

4 of 5 beta testers gained.

updating #ETL node: Union,.. more an ode to understanding SQL. I've added the ability to remove duplicates. This is likely the only setting Union will need for a little bit.

creating #ETL node: Wild headers, it simply allows people to use a single input and "wild card" to filter complete columns out of the table, the wild card searches across "headers", uses checkboxes for case sensitivity, and other related checkboxes that make sense here for this style of #data magic
