The trouble is that thought and culture are not the sort of thing that can have distinct units. They do not have a granular structure for the same reason that ocean currents do not have one — namely, because they are not stuffs, but patterns.

💗🤗 it's lovely to meet you!
🤠📊 i'm a data cowgirl, primarily working in python and SQL, with a focus on wrangling data in cloud warehouses.
🍊⚙️ i work in developer experience @dbt-labs these days, but i'm forever an analytics engineer at heart.
🌱🌤️ i write a blog called data cowgirl
👩🏻🌾📝 i get a bit too into gardening my dotfiles. you can check them out here.
- building a robust copier template for dbt projects
- learning Go by building a code generation CLI for dbt
- a complete data stack analyzing SF's tree dats
- a loader CLI for the massive GitHub Archive dataset
- Lots of LLM stuff
- the Between 3ANC Wireless Earbuds - i was a recording engineer and producer in a past life, and these have far better sound quality and noise cancellation than AirPod Pros. big rec.
- the Planck keyboard - while you can no longer buy the pre-built one made by ZSA, you can still get these from various builders. super cute, portable, and ortholinear, what more can you ask for? i use Kalih BOX White clicky switches.
- brain.fm - i find music to be deeply engaging because of my background as a producer, and it's hard for me to work to. conversely, brain.fm's music, which is engineered to provide endless background content and improve focus, works for me though. if you find Spotify a bit too stimulating, you might give it a shot.
- the Shure MV7 mic - about 78% as good as the venerable Shure SM7B (I've owned both), which is the best microphone for normal speech in my opinion, at a much cheaper price point and simpler setup.
