A surprising application I use LLMs for now is creating prompts for it. It is absurdly effective and helps me validate that what I told it is what it heard. Maybe I am late to the party on this but its surprisingly effective.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

I find myself confused about the 'vibe coding' arguments (both for and against). Its another tool in our toolbox. It has its strengths and weaknesses.

Rejecting it completely is folly and using it uncritically is naive...how is that different from any other new tech we have seen

@teej_m Hybrid tables! Long time coming

@ananthdurai @neelesh_salian Thanks!

@ananthdurai @neelesh_salian Where in Munich!? Since leaving London for Munich I've been dying for good Indian food.

The Walrus has landed at #SnowflakeSummit2023 . Come by our booth at 2022-A (near dbt cloud) to see it in action. There may even be some walrus swag available too.😁

[Jacques Nadeau @intjesus]

Nice to see Frank @ #SnowflakeSummit2023 keynote talk about launch of new @sundeck_io native app. Always nice to see our favorite walrus on a big screen!

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

Very excited to finally share what we've been working on for the past year! https://t.co/Pa9SYP7el4 . Would love your feedback! #Snowflake #sql

When I read that the CEO of a major ai firm wants there to be a license for ai models I can't help but wonder: Is the threat of an AI apocalypse really just a clever anti-competition campaign?

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

@snazy You are only around to build what they _may_ want in the future if you give them what they want now.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

My worst habit when building products is to confuse what users want with what I think users should want. You want this you just don't know it yet is a pretty arrogant way to engage with users. This has led to several debacles in the past. I try to remind myself of this every day.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

Something I've been grappling a lot with the past few days: in the age of ChatGPT how do you say anything meaningful online to get above the noise? How can a blog or essay, no matter how well written, get surfaced and not get immediately ripped off 100s of times?

[Armin Ronacher ⇌ @mitsuhiko]

The irrational hate and fear of Nuclear energy in the German speaking world is so absurd.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

and don't even get me started on trying to handle removing/renaming or moving a UDF! Feels like building a website via SSH/FTP in 2001

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

What are folks doing to manage #dbt stored procs and UDFs? I've defined them all in macros but I have several minutes of contextless CREATE OR REPLACE statements at the start of each run regardless of any changes.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

@usbrandon cloud vendored. Honestly i don't think it would matter though.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

I've learned a lot over the past year while working with kubernetes. The most valuable lesson: don't use kubernetes.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

@sachaarbonel Yaml is a dumb paradigm but I can work with it. What really got me is how hard it is for a small/scaling team. Ops wise we have higher uptime, less work and better visibility using VMs and the cloud vendors built in observability tools.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

I've been massively skeptical (or maybe cynical?) of the AI hype machine. However, today I have been using ChatGPT as a junior dev and its pulled its weight on simple, bounded problems. Still not convinced this is as big as the internet but it does have its uses.

[Jacques Nadeau @intjesus]

Interested in dynamically routing queries to different @SnowflakeDB warehouses (e.g. by @getdbt model)? DM me and we'll get you added to the @sundeck_io private preview.

[Ryan Murray @rymurr42]

@snazy Found some of my old code I see
