Data Stacks, Hash Values & More (YouTube Q&A)

Oct 15, 2025

There's been quite a bit of activity in the data landscape over the past year.

(and even this week!)

With so much going on, it can sometimes be hard to talk about just one topic or tactic.

So rather than over-analyze, today I decided to repeat what I did a few weeks ago and do some Q&A with YouTube comments.

In this batch, there are some great questions around things such as:

  • Using "older" traditional tools
  • dbt Snapshots
  • Data model keys
  • and more

By sharing and talking through comments in this form, my hope is to help you think through the same questions on your own.

Or maybe even introduce you to something brand new.

Enjoy!
