The Modern Data Viewpoint (3 Principles)

Building a solid data architecture is more than just the tools you pick.

Or the skills that you have.

A lot of times it has to do with your overall perspective and viewpoint on analytics as a whole.

Personally, much of my own thinking on this topic has been heavily influenced by the content put out by the folks at dbt Labs.

And I even cover the topic of this Viewpoint in a course of mine called The Simple Stack Playbook.

So in today's video, I'm actually going share with you a lesson directly from that training.

And despite the fact that this video was recorded 3-4 years ago, the concepts here are still as relevant as ever.

Whether or not you use dbt yourself, the ideas and strategies discussed will help you improve as a data engineer going forward no matter what.
