Great story on how @YipitData, a major financial data provider with over 15 PB of data, migrated from Hive to Unity Catalog to scale access management, decrease costs, and deliver data directly to customers via Delta Sharing.

interesting thread describing why platform teams are dead and why you need a platform team instead!

we've learned many of these lessons over the years as we evolved our infra platform at @yipitdata (started in 2013). infra diversity needs and dev expertise matters a ton

[Vlad Ionescu (he/him) @iamvlaaaaaaad]

Twitter thread based on demand and cause I can't be bothered to spend 6 months writing a blog post: platform teams are dead.

Platform teams as in teams that build an internal platform that "abstracts the cloud" and "makes things easier for developers" and "our k8s platform" ⚰️

@alpacatron3000 we help corporations and institutional investors make better decisions based on alternative data. we're democratizing access data and research about industries and companies. smaller corps and investment firms can have access to *the same* research & data as the huge players

[Hugo Lopes Tavares @hltbra]

Our CEO @vacanti speaks about how YipitData helps investment funds and companies make better decisions - and how our research was able to predict Zillow’s recent home-flipping demise.

@QuinnyPig @Azure @awscloud Great analysis. I think Codespaces can become huge and be a gateway to increase azure adoption. Also interested in how their hardware can affect the community (m1 macs?🤣). I wrote some predictions last year after Github Satellite, it may interest you https://t.co/iOKqh7UyIt

any suggestions for software engineering job boards that focus on underrepresented groups? please tweet at me or DM #hiring

[Adriana Porter Felt @__apf__]

Folks often ask me what I do at work. What even IS an engineering director? I don’t write code all day anymore, so it seems very mysterious. Here’s my answer: people, processes, priorities.

is Topgrading a bad interviewing tool when you want to build a diverse team? #hiring
