i find the evergreen debate on what SQL is good for and what Python is good for surprisingly... boring? I increasingly feel like these are just arguments for the sake of argument and we all know the answers already! (like trailing commas 😉) So I wrote them down: 🧵

@gunnarmorling Notebooks are tools for "literate programming": a way of coding that mixes code, explanation, and outputs together in a way that's meant to be more interpretable by humans. It's really just a different way of thinking about a script that's tailored towards iteration &

data twitter: what is the most annoying thing you have to do most often? ex: mine is SQL date filters. I jump across dialects a lot for demos, and *never* remember the argument order for dateadd/diff, or even if it's date_diff or datediff. it just kills me every time.

... enhance ... yes, you're reading that URL right. Hex can now run **directly inside of @SnowflakeDB ** with Snowpark Container Services, so your data stays 100% inside of your Snowflake cloud as you develop models, build reports, and publish dashboards.

also because i'm running this query in Hex it takes literally seconds to turn it into a beautiful live map. Here's a 60s clip that goes from 0 to querying GB of geo data, mapping it, and easily changing filters to reactively update the map. Sometimes @_hex_tech is so slick.

Some @_hex_tech trivia: The UX of almost every Hex feature can be traced back to our first blog post, "Long Live Code". It lays out this "low floor, high ceiling" ethos: make it easier to write creative, powerful code, instead of hiding code away entirely.

Truly empowering users doesn’t mean getting rid of code, but embracing it.

As a longtime Looker user, I feel the need to take a shot across the bows *with love* at the old 5,000 row limit as we release this feature. Being able to rapidly chart data of any size truly makes Hex a platform for working with data of arbitrary scale.

@_hex_tech

Oh, and by the way... we've removed the 5,000 row limit for charts. Hex chart cells now perform server-side aggregation to let you plot data at effectively infinite scale without worrying about row limits or data size. 📈 Here's an example using a 900,000 row dataset:

5. But even when SQL just isn't good enough, tool friction is real. If I'm in a SQL IDE, why would I download a .csv and load it into some local Python environment or upload to a notebook? People write insane SQL rather than good Python simply because they're already writing SQL.
