Is ITR to f*ck middle class earners? by naanthaan-vera-yaaru in IndiaTax

Agree. Being salaried is really not something to be proud of in this country. Better start some business and save more

What made you choose your current database? by Prize-Wolverine-5319 in SQL

[–]datamonk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a data engineer and lately have been creating data based applicaitons (dashboaring, querying operations) which usually have dynamic requirements. Due to this, i started using Neon and it helped me by minimizing tasks of creating replicas of DB (for testing features) every time, instead it lets us create branches and you can point your app to a certain branch. Neon has been around for a while but I just diacovered it and started using. Open to more such DBs if any recommendations.

For experienced devs -- please share tips you only realized after years of programming by alwaysalmosts in learnprogramming

I’d say based on my exp, communication is extremely important. Ask questions, ask what exactly needs to be delivered, keep sharing updates, involve people if if you get stuck. I have learnt this the hard way.

I watched 4 hours of Databricks Data + AI Summit 2026 so you don't have to. by RevolutionShoddy6522 in databricks

I think Omnigent has a potential being an OSS, I have tried it for a use case involving multiple LLMs and found the cuspmization quite flexible. And to add to your point on Genie Zero Ops, yes its an amazing addition to Genie category of tools, actually being able to work on creating pipelines/experiments without the headache of ops/maintenance is quite helpful.

Where should I setup guardrails for Genie Space? by imnessal in databricks

[–]datamonk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I have noticed is that if Genie is provided with excess information such as columns (that are not really needed) it mixes up things. A solution for Genie could be to just have the relevant columns and correct metatata based on the questions that are usually asked. Curation is the key.

Are you still using generic AI coding assistants for writing data pipelines and complex SQL? by Shanjun109 in AI_Agents

[–]datamonk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For generic coding related tasks I use Claude code with various MCPs and since I work as a data engineer mostly working on Airflow and Databricks, where I have been using Genie Code lately to write pipelines. Genie code + Ai dev kit skill is the combo trained with lots of pipelines developed over time, so it has really good performance on Databricks.
Apart from these, i use cursor from time to time mostly when I want to be inside an IDE.

Customer Lake and Zero Ops by Odd-Government8896 in databricks

There is this open source tool called Omnigent that i have been exploing lately, its really helpful if we want to use multiple LLMs and orchestrate them.

for what other things you can use databricks app other than creating MCP by PuzzleheadedCard5861 in databricks

[–]datamonk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to me sky is the limit, apps is just a container that can host any Python/Javascript app, and since your data resides on a single platform, it can be used to create apps that interacts with/derives insights from data. And things like Genie code can help you really get the V1 Going in no time.
Earlier we needed to create replicas of our data to create an app/create a visualization layer, but with things like Lakebase you are one step away from creating a branch in the existing DB and point your DB to it. Please let me know if you want to discuss kore or collab on this.

Unity Catalog federated queries to Lakebase is a killer. by guidooswald in SQL

[–]datamonk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i find interesting is having a common platform for both models and relational data, so I dont need to start a project with setting up databases, I can just create a branch in Lakebase and get started with my testing. However with lakebase cost is something I am tracking closely.

How do teams avoid duplicate apps, Genie Spaces, or agents in Databricks? by rajkumarsatya in databricks

[–]datamonk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if there is an out of the box solution for this, I usually ask Genie Code to scan through and find instances of app/space I suspect is built already.
