Data modeling brain dump, vol. I
Recently I’ve been posting some Twitter threads with daily braindumps on random data-related topics. Here is the first volume: 12 threads. Each thread is between 200 and 300 words. I’ll be doing that for as long as I can find something to write about.
I understand that not everyone has a Twitter account. Unfortunately, the service nowadays works in such a way that you can’t see threads unless you have an account.
I’m thinking about crossposting to Substack Notes. If you’re interested, could you like this post, so that I could gauge interest? I never used Substack Notes, not sure how convenient it is for reading.

I like how the experiment goes so far. Changing the cadence and the format turned out to be quite refreshing.
