Every Tuesday morning at 7am I have a date.
For the past few weeks Robert and I have been jumping onto a shared Twitch stream and working through issues, code reviews, and design discussions for the delta-rs project.
The idea for the project came up at Data and AI Summit earlier this year. Robert lives in Europe and I am as west as west coast in the US generally gets. The timezone spread has been making collaboration difficult on the topics which require lively synchronous debate.
The Delta Lake project is open source and therefore, in my opinion, the discussions and development of the project should also be open! What better than a big open live stream to work through column mapping, deletion vectors, bugs, performance challenges, and more!
I have livestreamed development in the past and found it useful, but with “Delta Lake Live!” we have a much more regular schedule, agenda, and way for folks in the chat to engage, making it all that much more fun!
The streams are also being archived on YouTube but you’re more than welcome to pop by and hang out every Tuesday at 7am PDT
