In this week's newsletter I talk about the need to move from data replication to data publication.

Also 4 interesting links, including articles on turning around a platform team, feedback loops, leadership, and an SQL-based game.

In this week's newsletter I write about how you deliver data products with data contracts.

There's also links to a nice article on the importance of semantic integrity and capturing those in a data contract, and the revolution of providing data platforms with golden paths.

Recently the team at Notion published a great post titled "A brief history of Notion’s data catalog".

While the focus is on the data catalog, it’s really a lesson in metadata management.

And while they don’t call it a data contract, that's basically what it is.

I got my first a “posts you might have missed” style email from Threads today, but I don’t think they chose the best one to highlight…
