"Microsoft Start provides news from premium publishers" ... was the promise. The reality is that the content is from bargain-bin publishers and the "top stories" are almost completely about celebrities in bikinis and women's underwear. Shame on you, @microsoft. This is sad.

"We want to improve performance of this query" OK. Well, this code must change. "We cannot change that code"

Which is it?? #TeamReGex or #TeamReJex?! Don’t hit me with that gegggegggeh

We are excited to announce Luke Moloney speaking on Power BI and the Lakehouse - A Perfect Match Register: bit.ly/DT22Register Agenda: bit.ly/DT2022Agenda #azuresynapse Azure Synapse Analytics

When your PoC lasts longer than your eval licenses, something when wrong...

Such fantastic news - no more weird sp_exec stored proc wrapping or making weird stored procs for certain use cases (though I still love using SPs for a lot of transformation activities).

We are raising money for Womankind Worldwide to mark International Women's Day tomorrow. We will have these awesome stickers with us at #SQLBits and will be collecting donations -> buff.ly/35Cwg8j #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias

First work trip in 2+ years for #SQLBits ….and it turns out I’ve forgotten my Amex PIN. Ominous sign of things or is it all just up from here?

Fantastic presentation by @cathrinew and Helle Normann. Find the practices and ways that work for you and deliver value quickly.

Fantastic presentation by Heini Ilmarinen on networking with Azure Data Services. So clear and brilliant visuals. This stuff has been doing my head in for ages and in 20 minutes I understood way more than the hours of previous reading.

For those that haven’t seen this post by @cathrinew I STRONGLY encourage you to read it. It’s incredibly thoughtful, practical and a little confronting for conferences/communities of any size or type. I can’t imagine the courage it takes to deal with this and then write about it

This was pretty high on my list to do back in Brisbane. Very happy with the results.

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to make my #BIPowerHour debut.

Cannot recommend submitting for dataMinds Connect more. Last year I had an absolute blast - the organizers are excellent and super easy to work with, the crowd was engaged and had plenty of questions, and Mechelen is excellent. 11/10 will submit again.
