  • Reply To: Do What Hurts

    At least in the realm of IT, if you find a task hard or tedious to do, then there is probably a better way of doing it.

  • Reply To: The Pace of Data Platform Change

    The thing is, change doesn't happen equally or universally. For example, here in the US, a significant percentage of the population still use dial-up and DSL, not because they are...

  • Reply To: The Separation of Tools

  • Reply To: Bean Counting to Burnout

    I always imagined doctors dictating into a voice recorder, and then other people in the office actually deal with the paperwork. If that's not how it works, then that's how...
