Welcome to the data beats community! 🥁🥁

Hey there,

I’m Arpit Choudhury and I get this question all the time — why do you do what you do?

Here’s why:

• The modern data divide is helping nobody

• The gap between data and non-data people continues to widen

And I’ve made it my mission to beat the gap for good.

Through the content and community efforts at data beats, I aim to do the following in the short term:

• Enable go-to-market (GTM) people to learn all about data infrastructure and the workflows of data teams

• Enable data people to learn about the needs, priorities, and constraints of GTM people

In the long run, well, who knows? The world is changing too fast and we will adapt — there’s no time to think about the long run.

Our newsletter goes out weekly but I know it can be overwhelming and therefore, I recommend that you connect with me on LinkedIn to consume the latest content in your feed.

2 things to remember:

1. We have a whole bunch of content on a whole bunch of topics so do look through the Archive if you wish to learn about specific technologies.

2. We also have a section called Series where you can find collections of posts to go deeper into specific topics.

2 easy ways to contribute:

1. Recommend this publication if you write on Substack [How to]

2. Give data beats a shoutout wherever you have an audience [LinkedIn, Twitter, or elsewhere]

Lastly:

I’m always looking to collaborate with folks who believe in this mission so please feel free to say hello on LinkedIn or email me at arpit@astorik.com.

I look forward to hearing from you and in case you don’t hear back — well, that’s not gonna happen.
