"Modern art" was a terrible label because, ya' know, time would pass and here we are 50 years after the end of that period shaking our heads at what a short-sighted semantic gaff that was. We share that observation for no particular reason. On this episode, we sat down with broad, deep, and entertaining thinker Benn Stancil from Mode to talk about one facet of the modern data stack: the metrics layer. What is it? Who's thinking about solving for it? What is a monthly DAU? These are questions to ponder that, hopefully, won't leave you impersonating a piece of modern art.
