Over the course of your career, how many “why doesn’t the data match” meetings have you been in? And, follow up, would you be better served devoting your life to finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?

Hey @sethrosen.me I keep looking into columnar stores and come away disappointed. None of them have any Corinthians for sale.

I imagine answers to this vary wildly between sectors and the combination of pay, social status, project work, perceived impact, work/life balance, and more add up to very different outlooks

The other 10-20% are extremely disgruntled?

It must be virtually 100%. 90% seems plausible to me for sure. The industry has made it abundantly clear that there is no incentive to perform well, and most shops aren’t interested in quality software, just anything hacked together that makes money is good enough.

Gotta be 80-90-%

What percent of tech workers are mildly to moderately disgruntled in their jobs?

Shoutout to the “your package cannot be delivered due to incorrect address” scammers who are working absolute crazy hours this holiday season. Nothing is life is easier and it’s about putting in the work and grinding - day in and day out .

"does bluesky have drafts" no but we have kindness. we have friendship. we know love. we know how to see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wildflower. we know how to hold infinity in the palm of my hand, and eternity in an hour.

Creating a starter pack with data people who have dogs but don’t like pie but do like the ocean but don’t go to the beach. Reply if you wanted to be added.

Product managers and designers get credit for all kinds of things that didn't literally do, because they rightfully recognize that they're part of the team that built something. This is no different from the role a data professional plays.

First they came for the COBOL engineers, and I did not speak out Next they’re coming for Excel macros

They say the hardest things in computer science are naming things and cache invalidation. And now you know why your skeets aren’t always up to date when you go to your profile.

Staying up last night for that fight was the biggest scam since I mortgaged my house to buy a digital ape.

Do you regularly use terms like “cohort analysis” or are you watching the Paul vs Tyson fight tonight?

People are so happy to be here. You get a like! You get a like! You get a like!

I am looking to get hired as a fractional data stakeholder. On an hourly retainer, I will ask your data team for their dashboards in excel format, question various numbers, and make urgent requests. This will ultimately prepare them for full time data stakeholders.

Remember, every time you post something and someone doesn’t give you a like or reply it only makes you stronger. Post enough crap and nothing can ever break you.

Four years ago yesterday I published “how to build a modern data stack in under an hour.” What has changed under the Biden administration? Now we’re all putting data on S3 and using Not A Database.

Last week I talked with @duckdb.org creator @hannes.muehleisen.org. Fun fact #1: Hannes created DuckDB after getting tenure at CWI. "Hey, they can't do anything to us [so] for almost a year, we didn't tell anyone what we were doing." [ Link to his own words ] www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-Rm...

Not many people get a second chance at life. But we all have BlueSky.

“We shall spend an incredible amount of money building a data warehouse and a data science team to generate business insights. Everyone will do this.” —Sir, I assume these data teams will be trusted and their data used for important decisions “No, decisions will be made primarily on vibes”
