Navigating Etiquette and Community Engagement

Data communities have played a major role in the careers of many analysts, but times they are a-changin'. We're not sure if we're different, if the communities' purposes and missions have shifted, or both. One thing we are confident in, though, is that Pedram Navid was absolutely the right guest to invite on to the show to explore the topic alongside Michael, Moe, and Val. His blog post last year that discussed how "this used to be fun" was a great reflection on some of the environmental trends influencing the communities we've come to know and love. But don't worry, it’s not all doom and gloom! The crew all agreed that there are still places and ways for data practitioners to connect and support each other, even if it doesn't look identical to the early aughts.
