  • Great (and chill) guy to learn from

    I’ve been following Joe since I stumbled on Fundamentals of DE book (GOAT survey course in DE) - I really enjoy his tone about this stuff, and how he not only keeps up with forefront of the tech industry, he has solid experience to draw from as he interviews experts and provides his takes. Loving this show, and it’s high on my list of what I look forward to each week

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why 80% of AI Projects Fail & How to Build an AI-First Company - Steve Brown (AI Futurist)
Q: What are the common themes people ask about right now in AI transformation?
The guest highlights a three-step journey: enable people with AI tools, re-engineer workflows to determine task ownership between humans and machines, and become an AI-first company by redesigning the organization around AI as the engine, which requires cultural and structural changes as much as technical ones.
Why Your AI Agents Die in Testing - Prukalpa Sankar, Atlan
Q: What pre-deployment steps help bootstrap an agent's context?
Bootstrapping uses high-quality base context from connected systems, followed by simulations with many personas and potential questions to identify missing context before moving to production.
Why Your AI Agents Die in Testing - Prukalpa Sankar, Atlan
Q: How do you assess whether an agent has sufficient context?
Context sufficiency is non-deterministic, but practical benchmarks exist: prevent abandoning agents by avoiding too little context, and move toward roughly 80 percent accuracy so feedback loops can compound growth and improvement.
Tristan Handy: AI Agents Are the New Consumers of Data
Q: If you were to start over today, how would you build the company and product to ride this wave of agent-driven data?
He envisions smaller, highly context-aware founding teams forming partnerships rather than traditional C-corps, with a leaner capital footprint and a focus on creating platforms that empower analysts and other knowledge workers to leverage agents and automate critical business processes.
Tristan Handy: AI Agents Are the New Consumers of Data
Q: What does this look like to you when you think about DBT and the data stack today?
Handy suggests that the arrival of agent-centric workflows will push DBT and similar tools to focus on enabling agents to own business processes, with an emphasis on cost-efficient data access, reliable pipelines, and a more integrated, open approach to tooling.
