I recently overheard someone say, "I Don't Need to Learn Anything Anymore" because AI would do all of this person's work. This got me thinking about the future of learning, human expertise and depth, and more.
Juan Sequeda and Jesus Barrasa are among the top experts on graphs in the world. In this episode, we chat about the definitions of semantics, ontologies, and the differences between RDF and property graphs, etc. We also talk about how AI is giving graphs a new surge of interest.
Data teams have had a rough few years. Lots of layoffs and cuts, doing more work with fewer resources, and a general sense of malaise. On top of all of this, now we're in the middle of a trade war. This is war. If you're a data team, you need to act accordingly.
Tim Berglund is the OG of DevRel. We chat about the art and craft of developer relations, hacking on hardware, and much more.
Just wrapped up a whirlwind tour, giving a workshop in Atlanta and then attending Google Cloud Next. B2b nonstop action, and I'm glad to home for a bit.
While at Next, I had a conversation with another tech old timer friend. We talked about how much we're having using AI as a coding assistant. I'm having fun coming up with wild stuff and seeing if it's possible to build with code. AI's made coding fun again!

Juhani Vanhatapio lives in Finland at the Arctic Circle and is studying data engineering and machine learning. Juhani shares stories about life in the Arctic, the challenges and fun of guiding tours to see the Northern Lights, his AI Assistant for Northern Lights tourism, and his journey into the tech field during the COVID pandemic. This is definitely a very interesting and left-field conversation you'll enjoy.
I'm heads down with some work right now, but here are some random rants on workshops, the tariff chaos, and more.
Vin Vashishta and I chat about the current state of AI in business, the challenges of implementation, the pervasive hype surrounding AI technologies, influencers, and more.
Vinoth Chandar (CEO at Onehouse and creator of Apache Hudi) and I chat about the creation of Apache Hudi, the future of open data lakehouses, and much more.

People often ask me what I'd change in Fundamentals of Data Engineering. Usually, I reply "not much", as the the Data Engineering Lifecycle still remains intact. However, I see the role of data engineers shifting both left and right. What does this mean? Have a listen.
