I'm quite happy living in my Data echo chamber. No one can hurt me in here.

Yeah yeah… Solving critical UX problems is important, but have you tried injecting AI unnecessarily into all things a user touches in order to bloat everything out? That’s where the money is.

Snowflake's Cortex AI might be my new favourite piece of tech.

The superbowl ads:

Silicon Valley believes in critical thinking, just not when it threatens the monies.

Help, I'm being forced against my will to spend more time thinking about AI

Evaluating the data output of an AI model is basically the equivalent of wiping a baby's arse after it's taken a massive shit.

Trying to solve the time zone challenge with my team. We finally gave up and realised we needed a white board to visualise WTF happens when you try to build data flows in one time zone.

Data people deserve love too.

Just saying...

The more time I spend with product managers the more I'm convinced they are the least customer centric people in an organisation. In fact I would go as far as to say they are simply backlog centric.

My youngest started Beavers last week and his troop leader is called Grizzly Bear. There's something comforting about calling another grown man Grizzly Bear. From now on, please call me Grumpy Penguin.

We're so obsessed with winning, we completely forget how fortunate we are to even be taking part. Anyways, so that's why we missed target this month.

Executives are more replaceable by AI, but they aren't ready for that conversation.

Decided my side hustle is going to be coaching senior execs to be more active on linkedin through humorous posts. Like a professional coach for people who need to become bigger wankers.

Anyone needing a solid gym play list should try out the F1 movie soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Its mental.

I got my first Brilliant ever! Huge day.

Every now and then I watch The Hunger Games to remind myself that we already live in an us and them world and that we're all just tributes sacrificed for their entertainment.

Maybe Thanos was on to something.

I love the town I live in, but the residents have no sense of humour. Here is a screenshot from our towns whatsapp group:

I met all the Shaun the Sheep today at Wrest Park! (

I wrote a bunch of jokes on ##TheTraitors ##TheTraitorsUK www.reddit.com/r/TheTraitor...

This cartoon is so true

The older I get, the easier I find it to be confrontational but also the less I give a shit about being confrontational.

My most searched article on Google in December 😆

Saw this on reddit today and honestly...

I like to randomly message my best mates with a message that gets them to go "awww... wait what the fuck". For example: "Hey mate, was thinking about you in the shower today so thought I'd say hey. Hows the family?" or "Hey mate, was in bed thinking about you last night. Dinner next week?"

People who say "the customer is always right" have never had to deal with any of my stakeholders.

Whenever I tell people about that I do boxing, I really have to emphasise that its not a boxercise class. I'm not sure why.

It occurred to me this morning that counter culture is true driver of capitalism. It continues to fuel it.

Doctor: Do you have a sedentary lifestyle? Me: I'm not a complete rock, I do move away from my desk occasionally. Doctor: Sedentary, not sedimentary.

Is anyone following the traitors UK? I figured out who the secret traitor is but I dont want to give spoilers.

Traitors is back!!!!!

Happy new year ya filthy animals

"People don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad data" - Bhavik Patel.

"At my last job, we used this other analytics platform. It was really easy to use" Me: "So why d'you leave?"

Yes Mark that's exactly how it works. Historians do the exact same thing. Economists cant predict the future, they're not magicians. Once the future has happened they try to piece it back together. What's that old saying: "Past performance is not indicative of future performance".

I've decided I'm going to be the CEO of a company/any company by the time I'm 45... and no I don't mean start my own consultancy and give myself the job title of CEO. This gives me just under 4 years! (If anyone wants to let me be the ceo of their company that would be really helpful).

We found the solution to our Fivetran issue! We paused the Shopify connector and deselected a couple of tables, re-enabled the connector and synced it. We looked through our code and we couldn't find these tables in any of them... this scene from friends comes to mind www.youtube.com/shorts/swwZh...

Fivetran have completely ruined my evening!

Of course there are fivetran sync delays on the first Saturday after Christmas when peak season for us has begun and everyone is on Christmas leave and SLT are watching the hourly sales report!

Nearly fell for some rage bait on Linkedin... not today Satan. Not today.

Can someone wake me when we've reached peak AI fatigue?

Unexpected upside to immigration: The ~11 restaurants within 2 miles of me that are opened on Christmas day are all immigrant owned businesses

Caught Santa red handed. Proof that he exists!!! Next - Bigfoot, Toothfairy, Easter Bunny and stakeholders who action my recommendations.... although I dont have much hope for that last one.

Someone on Linkedin challenged my godliness and said that movies are seasonal and that all movies spike during Christmas. I had to slap his little bitch ass down.

Merry Christmas everyone. This year for Christmas I got you all a promise. A promise to be more active on Bluesky. You're welcome. Love Bhav

Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I'll die on this hill.
