Coffee chat with Scott Stauffer

It is the start of season 2, and we are kicking it off with Scott Stauffer talking about coffee, video games, the glorious innovation of technology over our years, guide dogs, AI, and so much more. Without giving away too much, in the show there is a discussion about guide dogs. This part of the recording went on too long, so it was cut for the main show, but as our first Simple Talks Extra, if you want to see a more complete version of this section, you can view it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BiQamHg8Go, and see our entire discussion on the topic! Scott can be followed or contacted at https://www.linkedin.com/scottstauffer/ Guide dog organization mentioned: https://bcandalbertaguidedogs.com/ SQL Bits presentation (Service Dogs in the Cabin - Web Scraping Puppy Data with Microsoft Fabric): https://sqlbits.com/sessions/event2024/Service_Dogs_in_the_Cabin-Web_Scraping_Puppy_Data_with_Microsoft_Fabric-1st_Leg https://sqlbits.com/sessions/event2024/Service_Dogs_in_the_Cabin-Web_Scraping_Puppy_Data_with_Microsoft_Fabric-2nd_Leg

Ending the Season Together

Today, all the hosts (Louis Davidson, Ryan Booz, Kellyn Gorman, Steve Jones, and Grant Fritchey) get together for a festive adjacent discussion about AI, content, books, community, vector, PIVOTing, observability, and we end up with a brief discussion on gluten-free gingerbread men (because we did!) All this, though absolutely none of us broke into song like a Hope/Crosby musical! For more episodes of Simple Talks, visit www.simple-talk.com/podcasts Check out Simple Talk at www.simple-talk.com

Coffee chat with Mala Mahadevan

In this coffee chat episode of Simple Talks, Louis spends nearly an hour chatting with SQL Server community champion Mala Mahadevan. Learn how Mala got into computing despite her passion for horticulture, her favorite thing about working in technology, and a love for national parks. And stick around to the end where Mala and Louis share their frustrations about a SQL Server feature they both love but really want to see enhanced, so it will be a great feature worthy of use by everyone, everywhere. You can find Mala online on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mamahadevan/ Website: https://curiousaboutdata.com/ For more episodes of Simple Talks, visit www.simple-talk.com/podcasts Check out Simple Talk at www.simple-talk.com

Coffee chat with Aaron Bertrand

On this episode of Simple Talks, Louis hangs out with Aaron Bertrand and talks hockey, curling, football, hybrid cars and even some technology. One of the big (non-sports) themes of the episode is that Aaron is a problem-solver and is interested in how issues can be overcome with technology - even if his focus now and in the conceivable future is being a top-level expert with some of the aspects of SQL Server.

Coffee chat with Kevin Feasel

On this episode of Simple Talks, Louis sits down with Kevin Feasel and talks database design, conferences, battle tech games, and a lot more. Kevin has one of the most interesting origin stories so far in this series. He is a Data Platform Microsoft MVP and is the model of a great member of the data community. Also on the podcast, Louis learns a few new words and phrases, and for those of you watching on video, you can see him accidentally take himself out of the video a few times as well.
