Doug Needham is an OG DBA and data architect who built DataOps workflows back in Desert Storm (!) and has managed to stay very current with data to today. We talk about data architecture war stories, the hard work to do generative AI in the enterprise, and much more. Enjoy!

There's the interview you think you're going to have, then there's the interview you get. This is one of those, in the best way possible. I expected to chat about his time at Snowflake. We didn't even get past his early days building data warehouses because it was so fascinating. Did you know Kent is arguably one of the very first practitioners (probably an accidental inventor) of DataOps?

This is sort of a "prequel" episode. Kent Graziano and I chat about his early days as a data practitioner.

Sarah Floris (aka The Dutch Engineer) is prolific with creating content aimed at DataOps and data engineering. In this wide ranging chat, we cover content platforms for technical creators, podcasting, data engineering vs ML engineering, why DataOps is awesome, courses, layoffs, and much more.
