Will be interesting to come back here in 6 months. I switched from growth to moderate on “Independence Day” because I thought the market probably hadn’t priced in “future crazy” enough. Hate to be proven right.
Data scientist hell is when you're trying to grab the data from somewhere and the only source is a PowerBI dashboard with no download button.
🤣
Did you see any kakabro?

Jesus this job add for Senior Data & Insights An analyst at Wellington City Council:
“Use an AI first approach to build performance frameworks and dashboards that track the effectiveness of major programmes”
WTF does that entail? And how does that square with “Support robust data governance”
Bingo!
Ok, so their question was:
“There’s two types of functions in power BI…what are they?”
And their answer was:
“Measures and Calculated Columns”
Nope but good attempt
Exactly. And you won’t believe what they were incorrectly driving at.
I really should have busted my #PowerBI Wizard outfit out in hindsight

Wait till you hear their answer…will post it in due course
Another question that asked was “ What’s the difference between import and direct query?”
My answer:
“One is best practice the other is last resort”

(I did go on to explain myself)
I got asked this #PowerBI question in an interview today:
“There’s two types of functions in power BI…what are they?”
I gave a couple of possible answers:
1) UDFs and Native Functions
2) Functions that modify the Filter Context (all two of them) and functions that don’t.
What would you reply?
You’ve got me thinking about the opening lines from Nick Caves “The Sorrowful Wife”:
"I married my wife on the day of the eclipse
Our friends awarded her courage with gifts"
It’s making me hungry!
That happened to me just before a job interview via teams once. They had to find a non visual reason to turn me down.
This is it: this why I finally snap and become the yoker
The organisers tried to move me on even though the gig was outside in a public space on a river bridge.
“We don’t want you to cause any trouble”
I guess Gandalf does look a bit like a homeless dude.
This is me and my buddy Glenn. I just crashed a charity networking gig in Whangarei dressed like this, purely because his son recently remarked “Jeff is like Gandalf…he keeps turning up unexpectedly”
So I ran with it. It took him three songs to realise it was me.

Anytime a particular critter enters the zeitgeist, you should look for a story by @sabs.bsky.social. They’re diligent and funny, and incisive about describing animal behavior—human and nonhuman alike.
The first video will help you start a GitHub Copilot subscription and start using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio with Power BI MCP Server to review and edit Power BI Desktop data models, and to create your first custom agent to streamline Power BI modeling tasks.
