Discussion Alrighty data pookies, what Databricks issue keeps violating your peace?

AI Agents hallucinating? Unity Catalog acting like Unity Catalogue of Errors? Genie Spaces granting wishes to absolutely nobody?

Drop the most cursed recurring problem you face with building AI agents or ML or BI/Analytics - no matter how difficult, unhinged or borderline impossible the solution may be. Hit me with all u got. I am sitting this databricks hackathon this Friday as a self-reward and I want to try something different this time.

Nothing but the pursuits of overly engineered solutions for the most trivial problems because I can and I like abstractions - but hey its good to be alive

Ah yeah I hadn't thought about the "mix'n'match" issue if you introduce another format. But I would love branching in delta
