I should feel celebratory. Mostly I feel like I owe somebody money. Because none of it was mine to begin with. Every door was opened by someone who didn&rsquo;t have to. But the compact that built this community, where you give it away and trust it comes back around, I&rsquo;m not sure it holds anymore. We built the library. Someone else started charging admission. /posts/on-community-again/ Thu, 22 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /posts/on-community-again/ Years ago, fear kept me silent about bad actors in tech. Now stepping away from Data Weekender after organizers kept a speaker with documented harmful behavior. Safety demands action, not just codes of conduct. No longer afraid to speak out. /posts/data-platform-discovery-day/ Wed, 29 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000 /posts/data-platform-discovery-day/ <p>I just had an absolute blast presenting at the Data Platform Discovery Days - both the European and the US edition! For the US edition I presented &ldquo;Azure Machine Learning for the Absolute Beginner&rdquo;, a session looking at machine learning in general, walking through Azure Machine Learning and giving several examples of machine learning in action - in both expected and unexpected places! The European edition asked for &ldquo;Building an Empire - Implementing Power BI Step by Step&rdquo;, a session on Power BI, datasets and dataflows. </p>
