Thank you for organising this session. I tuned in whilst my snotty 4 year old napped, really juggling the work/mum life balance today.

It was just noise and I couldn't make it work for me. Trying again but building up my feed slower which so far is working.

I really like Databricks, everything is pretty much in notebooks. I've recently discovered automation between Databricks and confluence which is beautiful for writing investigation docs. We schedule a lot of jobs too to call the notebooks. Some of the team use vscode but mostly for developing.

Next on my list is "Telling your data story" by Scott Taylor. I started it a while back but never finished it. I haven't done a lot of reading the past year or so so trying to get back into it. Have you got any recommendations?

Halo Data ⭐⭐⭐

This book introduces a new paradigm for valuing metadata, considering confidence, risk, and ethics. The concept is interesting, but the practical applications lacked in reference to this paradigm, making it hard to see how to implement it effectively.

Databricks and pyspark mostly, sometimes pandas.

Those are quite small cups though!
