Silent mode for some weeks and plenty of refactoring for the tracking plan generator. Major change, swapped Supabase for Convex and Sonnet 3.7 for 4.0. It generated this for a Miro use case:

Good day - part 2. First successful deployment of the home-built course platform. Some more tests, and we can move the people from Circle to it.

Good day - I generated the first test tracking plan via the app. My usual test case: Miro. 30s, 6 entities, 38 events (maybe a bit too many), 45 properties. Quality - quite close to my manual designs. Next step - make the table look nicer.

Ok, I am pushing it now - create tracking plans with multiple models, synthetize and do cherry picking to get your perfect tracking plan. But beware, I will show warnings when create more than 20 events. This is an opinionated software.

It looks so innocent in that stage - I could keep it for simplicity like this - but there is this urge for individual UI that cannot be controlled.

This pixel art was already worth working on a course withJuliana J.

We plan to launch a course with the monumental title: Strategic Analytics.

Something I always wanted to have in a tracking plan tool: auto-population of descriptions and examples.

Now I added it to the HipsterDataPlan. My current optimization metric is time to the v1 version of a tracking plan. This saves me 30-60m easily.

Ok, a year ago, I would have said a definite no to building a tracking plan/setup tool. But things have changed. I now have a way to generate really high-quality tracking plans with GenAI, so now I'll build the frontend for it. I'll keep you posted.

This new one took a bit more research than usual. Coming to your inbox in a few days.

From my latest blog post:
Progress happens on an account and on a user level. I picked the Asana example of using workflows. This can happen on org level but also on a user level. Especially the user in comparison to the org shows the wide adoption level. https://buff.ly/42CrHFX

Dev Copilot definitely proposes better-styled logging than I usually do. My log style is raw; its style is playful.

This is how it looks for me and I am afraid my kids pick up my way…

That is a nice thing Claude does here. I was brainstorming some ideas for a specific SQL query, and it provided me with a query proposal and a visualization of how the pattern looks like:

One of the nice things about doing a content series about real-life BI & Analytics use cases is that they are still fictional. This means I can write the briefing myself in a way I love them. So, I am cheating a little bit.
