- when you see the word substrate in corporate speak, you know where that’s from…
Schemas as application code means you get version control, PR review and type‑safe changes. A query builder that feels like SQL and lets you write “real” ClickHouse queries with IDE autocompletion and compile‑time checking. Local development and CI should mirror production so you can preview schema changes before they apply to prod.

I believe this is what dbt set out to accomplish. They came at the problem from the point of view of a data transformation language that is essentially a pseudo type checked SQL for analytical engines with some additional batteries included (ie macros) but the motivation was similar. I’ve always felt that what has held dbt back from more mainstream adoption by the dev community is because they’ve prioritized data transformation over data access to the application layer - ie business intelligence tools over a web app.
Moosestack looks interesting- will definitely check it out.
I’m at this stage where I’m fine with AI generated content. Sure, the verbosity sucks - but there’s an interesting idea here, but make it clear that you’ve used AI, and show your prompts.
heck I built a full app in an afternoon AND I was a good dad?
> I'd wander into my office, check what Claude had built, test it real quick. If it worked, great! Commit and push. "Now build the server connection UI," I'd say, and wander back out.
Made breakfast. Claude coded.
Played with my son. Claude coded.
Watched some TV. Claude coded.
Every hour or so, I'd pop back in. Five minutes of testing. One minute of feedback.
And also how “internal” business intelligence/operations tools should work. search first to find relevant artifacts - “top 10 customers in AMEA”, followed by agentic verification and enrichment.
Congrats on the launch!
“… you can find frameworks not just in software, but also in ordinary life. If you buy package holidays, you're buying a framework - they transport you to some place, put you in a hotel, feed you and your activities have to fit into the shape provided by the framework (say, go into the pool and swim there). If you travel independently, you are composing libraries. You have to book your flights, find your accommodation and arrange your program (all using different libraries). It is more work, but you are in control - and you can arrange things exactly the way you need.”
Wonder what’s changed recently..
Can’t wait to try this out.
BigQuery has a neat feature where it estimates the cost __before__ you run a query, which has often come in handy.
> Allred tweeted that the school achieved a 100 percent job-placement rate in one of its cohorts, and later acknowledged in a private message that the sample size was just one student.
“ Six of the eight authors were born outside the United States; the other two are children of two green-card-carrying Germans who were temporarily in California and a first-generation American whose family had fled persecution, respectively.”
My money is on Jonah Hill to play SBF.
If I could upvote this a 100 times, I would. I've felt this pain everyday with Looker, Mode, Metabase, every other BI tool that I've tried.
