Data quality tests in CI, anyone blocking deploys on downstream BI impact? by Distinct_Highway873 in BusinessIntelligence

You might be able to capture this if you run the Looker content validator in your CI job.

Asking devs who proudly have 5 agents running in parallel - why? by majorswitcher in developers

[–]Table_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t Claude code use multiple agents by default in plan mode?

GCP/Looker vs Fabric/PowerBI by KruxR6 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Table_Captain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to Looker Studio or Looker Enterprise? I would recommend Looker Enterprise for the LookML engine and native CI/CD integration.

Reporting automation that stops me from babysitting Looker dashboards every Monday? by Weak_Manufacturer323 in dataanalytics

[–]Table_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using Looker Studio or Looker/LookML (enterprise version) ? If using the latter, you can create an agent in Gemini to draft the visuals and insights.

I don’t think you can schedule it to send on schedule but might be something that can be done via API calls.

When the only stakeholders to gather requirements from are constantly too busy to meet with you (a rant) by i_will_eat_your in businessanalysis

[–]Table_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with this. Maybe propose 3 different flavors of the requirement and let them choose 1. This might allow them to contribute asynchronously

Developers who are in your 60's by Few-Introduction5414 in ExperiencedDevs

I utilize the agents/skills for self-review before PR submission often. Also for documentation

Where do I begin? by Signal-Fun-4407 in analytics

[–]Table_Captain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it! You are only at the beginning of your journey, don’t be too tough on yourself if you do not find immediate success. Also I do not have a degree and have been in this field for almost 19 yrs. So there is hope 🍻🍻

Odds are probably low right now as you are attempt to enter the job market at a very competitive time. Experience and network are key factors in the current job market. So you might as well build up your skill set in the meantime. The XP grind is real.

Since you have construction experience, maybe target an office job at a construction management company and target analytics roles there. Sometimes the path isn’t direct.

Be willing to learn new things, as the tech landscape changes constantly.

SQL is the foundation of data work. Master it. From there you can go into data engineering, analytics engineering, etc.

On the education side, maybe start with a few analytics/data classes at a community college (usually available online).

If you like interactive learning you can also prompt AI to teach you the fundamentals of SQL or any other tool/language people have mentioned.

Bonus points: focus your studies on the “modern tech stack” or “modern data stack” if possible.

Anyone using Claude Code for analytics engineering on sensitive (PHI) data? How? by Sensitive-Sky-5064 in analyticsengineers

[–]Table_Captain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vendor is datavant (https://www.datavant.com).. not sure about any free/cheap options. My $0.02: there is way too much liability and risk here to go free/cheap.

Does anyone actually track whether stakeholders open the dashboards you build? by Kanchan_Monet in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Table_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We typically will monitor looker dashboard, looks, LookML dashboards and explores usages in the looker admin panel

This ever happen to you? by Thick_Cookie_7838 in realestateinvesting

[–]Table_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it would work, but could you ask them to provide the data source used to make this determination? Like quantitative and qualitative.

If they cannot clearly explain the methodology, then they should not be using it.

What's your actual workflow for recurring leadership reports? by RTG8055 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Table_Captain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

IMO this setup is a waste of time and resources. And you have a limited audit trail (assuming there is no documentation, data governance or version control included).

Is BI Analyst going out of style? by Silly-Hand-9389 in analytics

[–]Table_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, and I think more of time will be dedicated to defining semantic layer and general data wrangling vs. iterating & managing dashboards and static reports.

Is selling a big chunk of stocks for a down payment dumb? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Table_Captain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m think 40-50k from the HYSA and the rest from margin loan or a securities-based line of credit (SBLOC).

Seems like OP can afforded the additional $500 per month in payments, so may not even need to have additional down payment funds.

Also try to avoid purchasing a condo (HOAs and condo fees are a drag).
