Data Modeling, dbt Configs & More (Responding to Your Comments)
Sep 22, 2025Normally I pick a topic on my own and break it down in dedicated video.
But today, there is no set topic.
Instead, I'm going to simply read through recent YouTube comments and give my thoughts.
This is something I've seen other folks do and I personally liked the format.
So I figured it may be something you like too.
Maybe it will address a similar question you also have, introduce you to a new topic or reinforce an idea you already had.
Some of the Q&A topics include:
- Data Ingestion & Version Control
- Running YAML Files
- dbt Configs (Ephemerals, Invocation, etc.)
- Data Modeling (Kimball, Surrogate Keys, etc.)
You'll also get a taste of some of the more interesting comments people leave...
With that said, I hope you enjoy this more unfiltered style of video.
