Helms: Most people don't remember how hard it was to use data in Tableau. Helms on the show: "We've aged on this podcast and we literally always had a drink" He says he would be wine deep after a big day at work, but now that's too old for him. But mostly it's me saying stupid stuff like Tim knows when he's hit the record button so he always says he's stupid shit before.
Have you ever built a data-related "thing" — a dashboard, a data catalog, an experimentation platform, even — only to find that, rather than having the masses race to adopt it and use it on a daily basis, it gets an initial surge in usage… and then quietly dies? That's sorta' the topic of this episode. Except that's a pretty clunky and overly narrow summary. Partly, because it's a hard topic to summarize. But, data as a product and data products are the topic, and Eric Weber, the data scientist behind the From Data to Product newsletter, joined us for a discussion that we've been trying to make happen for months. It was worth the wait! For complete show notes, including links to items mentioned in this episode and a transcript of the show, visit the show page.
