DABS: external locations

More under DABS! External locations are now available as DABS code. I hope that credentials will be available soon, too, so it will be possible to reference the credential resource from an external location. #databricks https://medium.com/@databricks...

just TABLE

Do you know that instead of SELECT * FROM TABLE, you can just use TABLE? TABLE is just part of pipe syntax, so you can always add another part after the pipe. Thanks to Martin Debus for noticing the possibility of using just TABLE. #databricks https:...

Love this post, Sudhir.It's been fascinating to see how quickly the principles in TMMM are evolving in the last 6 months, with the rise of agentic AI.  It's a shame Fred Brooks is not around to see this technology shift.
