This week on The Data Stack Show, Eric and John chat with Matthew Kelliher-Gibson, the deemed “cynical data guy,” in a candid discussion about the realities of data work in large organizations. They explore the skepticism surrounding metadata’s value, the myth of a data-driven culture, and the challenges of shifting executive mindsets to trust data over intuition. Additionally, the group delves into the practicality of no-code and low-code solutions for data operations, emphasizing the importance of discipline and understanding the limitations of these tools. The conversation also covers the misuse of tools like Jupyter notebooks in production and the need for clear guidelines to prevent inefficiencies and manage tool usage at an enterprise scale. Don’t miss the battle of the cynical and the agreeable on this week’s episode!Â
