For most data teams, one of the more challenging discussions you'll have is that of naming conventions.

This is especially true with the popular data transformation tool, dbt.

It's something where there's a lot of ego & strongly help opinions involved.

But it's also something that's incredibly important.

And yes, this isn't the most glamorous part of the job...
