In Master Data Management #mdm, we strive to create "Golden Records." Whenever someone mentions this term, I think of Willy Wonka and the "I want a Golden Ticket" song. So, this year, "All I want for Christmas is... A Golden Record" for MDM Data Quality. #dataquality

Jokes for today (musings during the Mode/ThoughtSpot webinar):
What exactly is a ThoughtSpot?
It's the hole in the middle of a doughnut chart.
Why was the company called "Mode"?
Because "Mean" wasn't very nice.

I seek test users and feedback!
this is a tutorial I wrote to help you use data-diff, an open source (free) tool to check for changes between two versions of a table. such as when editing a dbt model.
please give it a spin!
