By focusing solely on AI experiences for business teams, they’ve alienated data teams, relegating analysts to disjointed tools and data silos. When in reality, businesses still need people who can help decision-makers assess messy data to diagnose and evaluate business problems. In fact, in this age of AI, we need analysts more now than ever.

How to Use Regular Expressions in Python

Regular expressions, commonly known as regex, are a tool for text processing and pattern matching. In Python, the re module offers a robust implementation of regex, allowing developers to handle complex text manipulation efficiently. In this article, we'll get to grips with regular expressions and provide practical code examples — from the basic to more advanced — so you can understand how to use regex in Python.

Event-Driven AI: Building a Research Assistant with Kafka and Flink

This post was originally published on Medium on Nov. 20, 2024. The rise of agentic AI has fueled excitement around agents that autonomously perform tasks, make recommendations, and execute complex workflows blending AI with traditional computing. But creating such agents in real-world, product-driven environments presents challenges that go beyond the AI itself.

Technical Underpinnings of Apache Iceberg

Modern data systems demand flexibility, tool interoperability, and strong data integrity. Legacy formats often create barriers with rigid schemas, inefficient partitioning, and weak transactional guarantees. Apache Iceberg overcomes these limitations with a modular design that decouples metadata from data storage, enabling smooth-schema changes, efficient query pruning, and ACID compliance across engines. This article explores Iceberg’s technical foundations.

Python Assert: Definition and Best Practices

Debugging is a vital part of software development, ensuring that code behaves as intended, identifying errors early, and preventing small fixes from escalating into larger problems. Developers risk releasing unreliable, inefficient, or even unusable code without proper debugging techniques. This tutorial covers the fundamentals of Python’s assert statement, practical ways to use assertions for testing and debugging, and best practices for using assertions effectively while avoiding common pitfalls.
