    Ep. 15 - Fabric or Databricks

    In this episode, Meagan Longoria talks about Databricks and helps us compare it to Fabric. The general conclusions is Databricks is still the mature tool, but Fabric is making improvements.  In reality, there is space for a hybrid approach and if you have to start somewhere with Fabric, it likely makes sense to start with Power BI and work your way back, where this value. We also talk about how the way Fabric is structured can sometimes lead to messy workspaces.

    Ep. 12 - Power BI, Data Viz, and Solving the Right Problem

    T. from Data Rocks talks about how data viz is a tiny subset of information design. The key is to focus less on just charts, but more about how the data is communicated and received. We talk about how what the user does with it separates a pile of charts from a successful design flow. I found this conversation helpful to understand it means to be good at data viz.

    Ep. 10: Fabric and Instructional Design

    In this episode with Ellen Burns-Johnson, we talk about when we worked on a cloud game for Azure Synapse, ADF, Power BI. A big lesson learned from that is a big challenge today for Fabric is getting different teams and personas to communicate with each other; it's not just about the technology. Ellen's first impression is "it seems like Microsoft is trying to 'product away' the communication layer".  Links Scott Hanselman and AbstractionsHenry Forde never said anything about faster horsesBig data is deadJanuary 2025 update on RedditMayor uses deeply disturbing AI imagePower BI, AI, and EthicsDeepseek thinks it is ChatGPTKind and wicked learning environmentsBody DoublingParallel Play
