I really enjoyed What Google Translate Can Tell Us About Vibecoding which is a really nice description of the strengths and weaknesses of GenAI. As a GenAI sceptic I'm always looking for articles that confirm my prejudices.
This article from Southamption University academics exploring the role of cultural data and how we can use it to improve our local area appeared on the Lcal Government association (for England)'s website last year and I missed it. It's got some really interesting things to say not just for councils but any social change organisations working in local communities. (HT dai lingual)
This is a nice guide to ways of thinking about data architecture choices in your organisation (HT Giuseppe Sollazzo).
My rule of thumb is "you do not need a data warehouse".
A slightly longer version of this rule of thumb is:
Most organisations can get a lot of value from data and analysis well before needing to invest in this sort of data architecture. You should extract that value first and worry about the data architecture second. For organisations already extracting that value the switch to a data warehouse will be fairly straightforward and may deliver enhanced value. But the chances are that that is not YOUR organisation right now. So to a high degree of probability... you do not need a data warehouse.

This is a list I compile on a weeklyish basis and email to subscribers. I also share the link on Mastodon, Bluesky and LinkedIn. It's a list of data vacancies in nonprofit organisations that have caught my eye. I don't endorse any of the organisations or roles.
Salaries are usually FTE and usually include London weighting if applicable. This list is very UK focused and even for remote jobs you are likely to need the right to work in the UK.
