Happy New Year to the Austin Databricks Community!
A new year always feels like a fresh notebook. Clean pages, big ideas, and the excitement of building something better than before. As we step into this year, one thing is clear: Data + AI is no longer about the future. It is about what we build today.
Over the last year, we saw how quickly tools evolved. What once took weeks now takes hours. What needed large teams can now be done by a few focused builders. But the real change is not speed. It is mindset.
This year is about learning deeply, not just quickly. About understanding how data flows, how decisions are made, and how trust is built in analytics. It is about moving from experiments to systems that work every day.
The Austin Databricks Community is a place for that kind of growth. A place to ask questions, share lessons, try new ideas, and learn from each other. Whether you are writing your first Spark job or designing large data platforms, every experience matters.
Let this year be about curiosity, collaboration, and confidence. Let us build skills that last, systems that scale, and connections that matter.
Wishing you a year full of learning, building, and meaningful progress.
Happy New Year!
