Four Major Shifts in Data
- Dave Kellogg witnessed four major shifts in data: relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and the modern data stack.
- These shifts expanded data's scope by incorporating unstructured data and changing how analytics are used.
Modern Data Stack: Models, Not Reports
- The modern data stack's output goes into models, unlike previous stacks serving reports and dashboards.
- This shift introduces new challenges like observability and model drift.

- Focus on selling tangible products, not just abstract concepts.
- Abstractions should enhance a tool's value, not be the sole selling point.
