It's genuinely concerning when, in the "Data & Analytics" track at the Demand Curve conference, 75% of the room leaves as the CCPA and privacy legislation sessions start.

This was tiring week of super tricky data layer problems, so I wrote a haiku about my experience: So lonely I wait In this forlorn debugger Data governance

Some big news for me: I recently joined the incredibly sharp team RudderStack to run customer success and support on growth initiatives. I wrote a blog post about my personal "investment thesis" for changing careers: ericdodds.com/career-update-…

Nothing wakes you up like a little client side data layer debugging. As much as the web has progressed, the front end is still a finicky creature.

Thinking back on a few experiences now, navigating go-to-market early on reminds me of riding a dirt bike as a kid: it's exhilarating in a way that makes it hard to tell how exhausting it can be and keeps you coming back for more.

Hey The New York Times, I found a box of Sunday picture sections from the paper from about 100 years ago, 1918-1921. (They were sitting in the dirt underneath an old cabin). I would love to know how best to preserve them. Here's Vesuvius heating up in November of 1920:

This is fun: a post I wrote with Soumyadeb Mitra was chosen to be featured in Medium's Programming section. It's called "The Complete Customer Data Stack." It's behind the metered paywall, but you can read it here: medium.com/p/the-complete…

I've used and advocated for data layer tools for years (as a key building block for growth and product), but pricing is a major barrier for so many companies, especially as they scale. It's pretty incredible to be part of a team that's changing that in the industry.

I had the chance to help build a product feature that I'd dreamed of for years: turning warehouse tables into events that you could send to the rest of your stack. I wish I had this in almost every previous role. Full details here: rudderstack.com/blog/ruddersta…

I was thinking about how many seemingly disparate financial, technological and cultural phenomena I'd have to unpack for someone if I traveled back in time 100 years and tried to explain the #gme situation...in large part because I'm still trying to wrap my own mind around it.

Need one of these for my work bench.

I'm pumped to announce that RudderStack raised a $21m Series A from Kleiner Perkins. When I joined last year, the next round seemed a long way off, but with focus and execution you can cover serious ground. In this next phase...more focus and execution :) Onward! 🚀

What an adventure to be on from seed stage to the announcement of our Series B RudderStack ! Knowing this team, though, it was only a matter of when. Also, I'm hiring for all sorts of roles on the marketing team, so reach out if you want to join the rocket ship!

Not only did Kostas Pardalis create a hierarchy of data needs, but an entire layer was named after me! In all seriousness, there is some interesting bundling happening across these layers with tools like Hex and Sigma.

This is one of the top conversations I've had in the past year—about data, starting things, the deeps of technology and, most importantly, human empathy. A true pleasure, Frank McSherry (@frankmcsherry.bsky.social) and Arjun Narayan

Transformations was a huge reason I transitioned to RudderStack from Segment in my consulting days. It's one of those features that so useful it's hard to remember running pipelines without it.
