I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: https://t.co/QRqMK9CpTR is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents.

I didn't write a single line of code.

Sometimes all the pieces fall into place - our own @matsonj opines
on the future of the Semantic Layer and the surprising success of leveraging AI alongside your existing dashboards.

If you're selling "AI coworkers"

Should you get SaaS multiples or staffing company multiples?

SaaS companies trade at 5-15x+ revenue.

Staffing companies trade at 0.2-1.2x revenue.
- Robert Half: ~0.7x
- ManpowerGroup: ~0.2x
- Kelly Services: ~0.2x
- Adecco: ~0.2x

Today we are launching Evidence Studio - an AI-powered development, publishing, and governance platform for analytics

@VideoTutor_io [email protected] This is really interesting. Love to see education adapting to where the student is at vs forcing them to feel relevance or appropriateness to their age/skill. Very cool.

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

[Austen Allred @Austen]

X should enable user vs. user prediction markets.

Imagine monetizing the spite and arrogance on this app.

You'd print money!

@nickgerli1 I think we will be fine...

[Ethan @ethanf_17]

After posting my project analyzing VC SEC filings using @duckdb and @evidence_dev, I got a ton of requests to open source it.

So I did!

Check out the repo below for the open source code. This is a great example of a DuckDB ETL and modern, simple data viz.

Product manager:

There's quite a few companies in this wave of Notebook/BI/AI for analytics space. My guess is we will see more mergers/acquisitions/acquihires soon.

The AI team at @_hex_tech just shipped two new features which make iterating on code with AI the best experience I've seen (and trust me, I've looked).

♾Continuous Edits: Rapidly iterate on changes in a single cell
🆎Diff Based Edits: AI to only changes the code relevant for your request

[evidence @evidence_dev]

In our most recent release, we introduced slider inputs and a download data component - a couple more pieces that make it easier to build interactive data apps.

[Matt David @fronofro]

@Trace_Cohen @axios Ed tech is tough. Best customers churn. A ton of signs up are aspirational and never log in to courses after buying.

[Matt David @fronofro]

@screenstudio is clutch

[Hamilton Ulmer @hamiltonulmer]

GPT 4o is amazing – our bet on optimizing FixIt for low cognitive load and low reaction time is paying off. Suggesting small changes faster than I can even respond.

We've gotten great feedback about what is and isn't working in FixIt. Can't wait to show you all the next version

[Matt David @fronofro]

Love to see more attempts at AI for data analysis
