There's the interview you think you're going to have, then there's the interview you get. This is one of those, in the best way possible. I expected to chat about his time at Snowflake. We didn't even get past his early days building data warehouses because it was so fascinating. Did you know Kent is arguably one of the very first practitioners (probably an accidental inventor) of DataOps? This is sort of a "prequel" episode. Kent Graziano and I chat about his early days as a data practitioner.
