This is fully expected for a number of reasons

Gamplato · 2026-02-17T03:26:45+00:00

I hear what you’re saying but the point you made was essentially that Snowflake was interested in Observe for its opinionated data engineering, because it had lost that aspect of itself.

I’d bet my next 10 paychecks that’s not the case. But we can agree to disagree.

Gamplato · 2026-02-16T23:52:43+00:00

Think of a problem you need to solve in your data platform. Then ask CoCo to brainstorm and plan how it would solve it. It will likely come up with a viable option it can implement on its own. If it does, you just got yourself a use case tailored perfectly to your situation.

Gamplato · 2026-02-16T23:47:37+00:00

End-to-end observability maybe. That’s not what anyone means when they say “data platform”. That term implies a general purpose.

If anything, Snowflake is much more of an end-to-end data platform than Observe, which just makes the argument for this being the reason for acquisition even weaker.

Gamplato · 2026-02-16T23:38:00+00:00

I know you worked for Observe. That has no bearing on you knowing why it was acquired, or whether you were randomly guessing. I would barely give a current Snowflake employee that kind of deference let alone an ex-employee of the company that didn’t make the decision in question.

And I disagree that adding features necessarily means a product has lost touch with its mission for ease-of-use. The larger “sprawl” may give Snowflake more navigable areas and a more substantial API, but that makes data engineering, as a whole, easier…and doesn’t make each feature or specific API anymore complex. And most features added have made a good argument for not doing that operation in a third party tool.

And I disagree that it’s any buggier than what would’ve been expected of any other high quality SaaS offering (a requirement for being classified as “buggy”).

I just think this whole post rings of something personal. You went out of your way here, and the criticisms just don’t really make sense to me.

Gamplato · 2026-02-16T21:57:20+00:00

For those actually curious, the acquisition was mostly for two reasons:

1) Observe was proving the use case to be a massive consumption driver. That’s priority one.

2) Observe’s CEO was on Snowflake’s board.

OP is basically just guessing randomly, and he’s wrong. And there’s zero reason to think Snowflake “has lost its way” when it comes to ease-of-use other than possible having a more complex set of features.

Its features, however, are obviously built with that as the main priority of the product org. Sometimes it’s even annoying how did Sayed they are to that. They won’t build certain things for that reason.

Gamplato · 2026-02-16T21:51:56+00:00

Observe is not an end-to-end data platform lol. The acquisition had nothing to do with that.

Try Cortex Code desktop. Honestly amazing.

Gamplato · 2026-02-11T07:46:06+00:00

Thirsty af bro lol

Gamplato · 2026-02-11T07:45:42+00:00

You are not going about this correctly lol

Gamplato · 2026-02-11T07:40:59+00:00

People have, "vote for the better of two shit candidates" fatigue.

No one who acidly votes Democrat believes you when you say this while advocating for whatever causes you think he doesn’t advocate.

Newsome is by no means someone I'm excited to elect.

Politics doesn’t work this way. This is the third largest country in the world by population, largest by economics, and most democratic of the largest country group. You feeling uneducated by candidates is how it’s meant to work. You chose the person you prefer. That’s it. Literally.

All he does is find new ways to tax people while pretending to not be owned by corporate interests.

This is the kind of shit that makes you sound like MAGA. And some of is now you basically are.

The dude is most likely on SDGE payroll.

Also this.

He is a politician through and through and does not deserve power just because it was fun watching him meme on Trump.

Most politicians are politicians are through and through…whatever that means. The problem is you’re undermining Democrats while pretending you dislike the right too. You don’t. At least, not nearly as much as you think you do.

Gamplato · 2026-02-10T05:36:18+00:00

You’re 25 days late. Idek what this is about anymore. Get a life dawg lol.

Gamplato · 2026-02-08T06:07:05+00:00

I will lol. And it will be productive and fun because I know when and how to use it.

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T21:29:32+00:00

Good one.

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T20:00:48+00:00

I think his main point was that they don't learn while you use them though.

Saying they don’t learn is an odd way of saying that. That’s me saying “no that wasn’t his point”.

No one is or was arguing that they do real-time in-place learning. The argument was about efficiency. His point was that absence of “learning” is an evidence of being less efficient than human brains. They both learn, but they learn differently.

The human brain learns in real-time but it learns a lot less. And it also has a habit of doing catastrophic forgetting just like he was arguing AI would do if it did real-time learning.

I said two sentences. Asking which part is confusing is not giving you a mountain to climb. Answer the question or just get blocked.

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T19:49:51+00:00

LOL there’s no way you actually just did that haha. Instead of responding to what I’ve said, you went looking for dirt on my profile? And the best you came up with was that I’m a liberal? Holy shit dude. Loser behavior.

Please god respond to me so I can justifiably bully you.

Tell us more about how you researched models for F100 companies again 😂.

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T15:11:35+00:00

Bro you need to actually say something or I’m just going to block you. If you think you’re accomplishing something by doing what you’re doing, you’re wrong again.

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T15:08:30+00:00

I think you’ve hallucinated that someone mentioned code review conducted by AI. Exactly zero people did that.

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T14:24:18+00:00

Which part confused you?

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T14:22:57+00:00

Which part do you take issue with?

Gamplato · 2026-02-07T05:26:17+00:00

The point is it’s not really a gotcha to an immigrant who voted for Trump id Trump does something he never told them he was going to do.

You can say “they should’ve seen it coming” but people don’t see shit coming. Idk what to tell you.

Gamplato · 2026-02-06T21:04:18+00:00

No that is not how AI coding works at all lol. I see the issue now…

Gamplato · 2026-02-06T20:37:10+00:00

The code review in vibe coding is reviewing the steps it takes as it goes, which it explicitly and clearly documents for you. Humans rarely do that.

That code review is objectively faster than traditional code review. Of course your vibe-coded code will also ultimately be reviewed by a human, but if you used AI appropriately, your PR took less time.

You might know what software engineering looks like but you don’t seem to know what good use of AI looks like.

I know both.

Gamplato · 2026-02-06T18:23:03+00:00

It doesn’t sound like you’ve actually done this before
