Diversified Semantic Layer Guest Appearance
Since this was actually recorded and published several weeks ago, I guess I’m late to the party. You may have already seen this if you follow the Diversified Semantic Layer, but in case you haven’t, I was a guest on their video podcast a few weeks ago. Eric and Josh hosted Derick and me in an hour-long discussion for all things semantic layer.
It was a ton of fun, even if it looks like I can barely keep my eyes open. Trust me, it was Josh (based in Australia) that should have been the sleepy one! We talked about subjects ranging from the very specific (why put aggregate functions on every measure) to more broad (do you let your business users build universes) while Eric tried to keep us on track. There were quite a few topics that we agreed we should come back to and cover in more detail.
And then I showed yet another trick during my DFW ASUG chapter session, which caused Eric to tweet this:
@dagira_tweets just taught me a #UDT hack I could have been using for oh say 15 or so years. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? #ContextsSuck

What can I say, we only had an hour? 🙂
