how AI in all technical domains will play out:

- AI separates business logic from execution by handling and commoditizing execution logic
- new logic-first abstractions arise that make specification of logic easier
- jobs become about managing the new abstractions

Question for #databs folks:

I am searching for a recent write up of how data careers/titles are evolving. Has anyone written or read something that resonated on this lately?

I’m hoping for a boots on the ground point-of-view of basically “where have all the data scientists gone” 🤠

I think it’s fine as long as the autoscale capabilities are observable and you are provided with enough tools to manage your own stuff.

If the autoscale feature is naive or poorly optimized and you can’t control it easily, then that’s an issue.

Is it not sketchy for compute infrastructure to provide autoscaling but then charge you based on your compute usage? The incentives are somewhat misaligned... I'm thinking specifically about Databricks.

Starter packs are the number 1 feature I’ve been most impressed with on Bsky
Starter packs just work. Look at how my follower count took off after being included in some Data starter packs. But here’s the catch: while they’re great for growing an audience, many starter packs have an annoying flaw.

👇💗 Now testing out Gemini 1.5 Flash, Pro, and Flash-8B is as easy as modifying a few lines in your scripts!

Just released, hot off the press: Gemini model compatibility with the OpenAI library.

So true. I ask LLMs questions that I would never ask a human for fear of looking dumb.
LLMs are the best rubber duck
