Generative AI Is Accelerating Data Pipeline Management


Data pipelines are like insurance. You only know they exist when something goes wrong. ETL processes are constantly toiling away behind the scenes, doing heavy lifting to connect the sources of data from the real world with the warehouses and lakes that make the data useful. Products like DBT and AirTran demonstrate the repeatability and […]

Through the Looking Glass: Metaphors, MUNCH, and Large Language Models
“What’s a metaphor?”  Mr. Biergel posed the question one morning to my high school grammar class. Being typical teenagers, we looked at him with blank-eyed stares. We expected that if we waited long enough, he’d write a paragraph-long definition on the blackboard.  “What’s a metaphor?” he repeated.  “A place for cows to graze!”  We groaned. […]
