What's your worst data guilty pleasure or dirtiest secret?
Mine? I don't know how to use excel 😬 I'm literally terrified there will come a day where I *have* to use excel and not some other, ANY other tool...

Essentialist misconceptions are shortcuts to avoid the harder work of 1) having clear goals 2) understanding what activities further those goals 3) evaluating efficacy of those activities and most important 4) tolerating the inherent uncertainty of our world
One of the most pernicious misconceptions that the tech industry has about human psychology is a strong belief in essentialist, deterministic, "born with it" personality traits that map cleanly onto homogenous, quantity-stable productivity outputs.

I believe the main difference is that one will see you later and the other will see you in awhile. I could be wrong, I'm not a zoologist.

Mariah’s talk was amazing at #dbtCoalesce! Everyone check it out!
This month marks just 3 years since I started doing data work as my career. I fell into it by accident, or pure happenstance, and today I'm giving a talk @ #dbtCoalesce. Folks recognize ME and want to hear my thoughts like I know what I'm doing or something. So surreal 🥴

You just know that somebody pitched this system as a "single source of truth for elevator destinations"
I present to you my official demo/review on THE ELEVATOR SYSTEM at #dbtCoalesce
Because no words can describe what you're about to witness.

This is me, giving a talk 6 weeks to the day after giving birth to my son.
It might *look* like bouncing back, but there’s no such thing.

Whether you've joined online or IRL, the energy has been contagious, the sessions unbelievable, & the conversations unforgettable.
Relive it all here. We'll see y'all tomorrow for another day—stay safe & have fun tonight.

Here’s four things we learned today at #dbtCoalesce from fashion design. 🤩
Never not preaching that “soft” skills are hard and the best engineers have lots of them. 💪
ALT A screenshot of a summary slide from Ashley’s coalesce presentation. The four lessons are: 1) code is only part of being technical 2) complex problems need fluid iteration 3) design trumps fabrication 4) great engineer = great designer
