If you have an interest in agentic coding, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard of Google Jules by now. But if not, now’s the time to learn all about it.

When it comes to reporting, I’m a fan of Kimball/star schema. I believe that the process of creating dimensions and facts actually reveals potential issues inside of your data.
