Finally, @gbelrose continued his theme from last year of applying good software engineering to data engineering, and now reporting. This was pretty inspiring, as it's very tempting to throw your hands up when you encounter a mess of dashboards created via elaborate clicky-clicky.

G advocated using platform APIs to extend your data pipelines into this domain, introspecting and annotate dashboards.

Another great talk was from Zintle Faltein-Maqubela on her experiences running data-focused internship and graduate programmes. Was well timed, as we're hopefully going to be taking on more juniors soonish!

The big point I got was around managing expectations on both sides - particularly for interns, they've often got other things going on in their lives. So getting some understanding of that, against what their team needs from them.

Also, really enjoyed Gerhard van Deventer from #EqualExperts on *Lessons Learned from Using an LLM and Expecting Magic*.

Solid coverage of fundamentals that really matched our experience - Improve your prompting; eval early, eval often; break big tasks into small ones -> set up a flywheel, and start eeking out those iterative improvements.

Over and above James's cool use of interactive polls in his keynote, there were many great points about how to be part of the "community". Something that was key was recognising what you take vs what you give back varies over your career.

And of course, he ended up with a rousing rendition of You Must Check Accessibility (YMCA).

First up, keynote from James McGillinray!

Talking about the value of community in the context of crazy, exponential technology change. A topic close to my heart

Really enjoyed Guillaume Belrose's talk on TDD for data engineering. Will definitely be checking out his #dbt unit testing package.

Actually, is turning into an enjoying take down of the large consulting world.

Strategy as a service model:

1. Make overblown promises, driving ill-advised adoption of tech (e.g. big data, AI, LLMs)
2. Learn from other people's inevitable failures
3. Sell superior version of (1)
