What the community can't stop talking about

hundreds of messages a week move through the WhatsApp group. Here are the threads it keeps coming back to — the topics are public, the answers stay inside.

  1. 01Hottest thread this month

    The semantic layer question

    Where metrics should actually live — and who owns them when they break.

  2. 02Still going

    Agents that survive production

    What's holding up past the demo, and what quietly got rolled back.

  3. 03Picking up fast

    Text-to-SQL, for real this time?

    The tools people dropped, and the one nobody expected to keep.

You're seeing the headlines, not the thread. Join to read the rest.

Who's behind it

D&A was founded and is run by three data people who wanted a place where every data practitioner can share and learn in the AI era.
