Just searched your substack for the word "silo", so commenting on a Nov 2022 post in Jan 2024. This incredible article popped up on Hacker News this morning: https://fernandovillalba.substack.com/p/devops-dont-destroy-silos-transform - and it's reminiscent of the API-driven approach Bezos did at Amazon that ended up leading to the creation of AWS
Key quote (actually by Kelsey Hightower [1]): "Silos are fine as long as there is an API between them"
"This new tool is great, but how does it make it easier for the stakeholders to export the data to Excel?"
"Is there a better BI tool than Excel?"
"Do we know if they checked their report filters before submitted a support request ticket?"
Killer combo - Excel plus DuckDB :)
