Data Modeling is a Lindy Skill.

Posted on:Oct 19, 2022

We were discussing some no-code tools for building out a quick MVP in yesterday’s team sync-up call:

But what if this tool dies off? Or some other tool adds more features and this one is not able to keep up?

The thing to note here is that they are “tools”. They will come and go. Don’t get attached to it. Focus more on the transferable concepts, the core here was data modeling:

  1. What fields should we have in the schema?
  2. When to create a new table vs a new column in an existing table?
  3. How to define relations between rows of different tables?
  4. Which conditions should trigger automations on data?

Lindy skills are those that stand the test of time. Some other examples are second-order thinking, communication/EQ, and creativity (soon to be replaced by taste).
