Excellent.

@ElenaRunsNYC They all wrecked an absolute classic dessert. A staple of most school dinners in the UK during the 90s. As you can see I haven’t quite recovered from watching…

[Count @counthq]

Today we're shipping a number of small but mighty features to make the canvas even easier to use at scale 🏗 (1/4)

Join #dbtCoalesce sponsor @counthq tonight at 9:30pm for a night of board games, puzzles, optional small talk, and chill music. https://t.co/G9wQ7jj1Xn #Coalesce23

@JayPeeDevlin I can’t wait to hear these in person next week…. Or can I 😂

@campbellclaret thank for raising this important issue on @RestIsPolitics!

@RoryStewartUK I think you’re too hard on yourself. If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then your impressions felt like a fitting tribute to each of them.

[Ollie Hughes @othhughes]

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Can we talk about Rory’s talent for impressions?

I’ve loved the audiobook of Politics on the Edge. One of the surprising highlights was the effort Rory put into narrating various characters such as Truss, Johnson, Gove. My fav was Priti Patel - which is he most proud of?

🚨 Big Feature drop

Count has an integration with dbt cloud. But this is more than just seeing data freshness, this is about radical transparency...

Don't just spot-check the final output of your data model. Following a subset of data through every step of your model is a powerful way to find bugs quickly and explain your model to tech & non-tech audiences

[Speros Kokenes @sperosck]

@stephencredmond @eagereyes @basole I was involved w/ a research project at Qlik about it, but it never got off the ground. Other companies are trying or have tried the business analyst notebook thing, but has not caught on for that audience yet. Most notable example IMO is @counthq , which pivoted to whiteboards

@dnlmc @counthq 3D is next quarter 👀

By zoom I just mean being able to pan out and see the bigger picture and then coming back in.

[Ollie Hughes @othhughes]

@dnlmc @counthq Data is best done in 2 dimensions. It removes artificial limits on how you can view data and simplifies complexity by reducing the cognitive load on the analyst.

As we often say internally our biggest differentiation is zoom 😂

[Ollie Hughes @othhughes]

@mim_djo Surely a win-win no?

[Alex Monahan @__AlexMonahan__]

What if your analytics could truly work at the speed of your thought? Check out how @counthq upgraded to @DuckDB Wasm for lightning fast in-browser processing!

Not only is it fast, but it reduces cloud costs and Count scales more easily. A win-win!

@imightbemary @alexkyllo @haro_ca_ @iamjosephmoon @matsonj @digitallogic @hyperquery The best solution I’ve seen to this issue is people dropping the second word altogether and just being Data @ Company.
