One of our engineers (who knows nothing about Meltano) saw a ticket today that had a title
Package metrics in Meltano/Snowflake
and they said, “That’s kinda funny. Melt-ano. Snowflake.” Where did the name Meltano come from?

We actually talked about that in our Mission post 😄 https://meltano.com/blog/meltano-the-strategic-foundation-of-the-ideal-data-stack/
Meltano itself was to become a “complete solution for data teams” that spanned the entire data lifecycle, as evidenced by the name: an acronym for Model, Extract, Load, Transform, Analyze, Notebook, Orchestrate.
We’ve moved away from the acronym, but stuck with the name 🙂

Hah! I just saw this post and thought. I should read that. It was on my list. Another reason too! Thanks!

so melty is: • Model • Extract • Load • Transform • yeet party

yeet that data to your stakeholder

what if instead of "looks" it was "yeets"
i think adoption would skyrocket
insight/yeet, feels pretty similar. it's all dopamine at the end of the day

Looker --> Yeeter
LookML --> YeetML
