There is. For yearly performance reviews.

Is this... a joke? Performance art?

Not snarking. I'm honestly more confused reading this than I was before.

This and also poor zoning laws and NIMBYism allow for (and encourage) constant sprawl which also drives city prices up more because some people don't want to commute two hours each way.

Now that's the fun part of the cyberpunk timeline I was looking for.

Now this is good content. Thank you!

That too, but also combined with having to balance that the people who did this before also did it in a different time with different resources and also have selective memories.

This. I was going to say essentially the same thing.

Every adult who becomes a parent seems to realize very quickly that their parents also had no clue WTF was going on.

So yeah, no different with what we do, since we're literally always building new things that haven't been done before.

Also sounds exactly like what happened with tobacco companies, lead in paint/gasoline, etc.

It's like we never learn and then those who are in charge made rules to make it even harder to learn as we went forward.

Also that humans are terrible at existential threats.

This. Data engineering has ramped up significantly and if you want senior people you'll quickly run out of people who've been exclusively doing "big data" for 5+ years.

So your options are either senior software engineers who have done some data work (that's how I got to be a Data Engineer) or people who've been doing analytical data work (either in the traditional warehousing space or via science/insurance/finance type spaces) that are semi-technical but have no formal engineering background.

The former are people who went to college in the late 90s/early 2000s (like myself) when things were different. The latter need to hyperfocus on coming up to speed in engineering.

I reviewed this guide a couple months ago for my employer to consider as the basis of an internal bootcamp, and I'd note that it's perfect for the audiences I mentioned. Also, even for people with more up to date academic experience, note that the transactional database schemas that software normally deals with often look wildly different than analytical structures.

This! Ten times this! Single dependencies like this are absolutely a risk management issue.

I say this as someone who's both been a single point of failure at times (and learned my lesson) and someone who's had to clean up after piles of "clever" code that someone left behind when they got hired out somewhere else.

Ok that was a really fun read. It's amazing how many random things like this persist for centuries despite tons of evidence to the contrary existing.

We're all gonna die sometime. Some of us will starve from no food, others will have a heart attack from poor quality food.

Eat Arby's.

Well that's a horrifying new option for our impending doom that I wasn't aware of.

Happy Thursday. Eat Arby's.

Oh hey, this is essentially a plot point in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle books.

Well, getting away from pirates, that is, but same idea.

This one is a double whammy not only because there's not only data on those companies, but it can be extrapolated that many of those companies are relatively new to the cloud (and possibly which cloud service is available as well), making them also ripe for targeting.

One of Attunity's bigger sales deals is making their data migration tools free for a long period to help organizations migrate to cloud. This is essentially a list of "Hey, these other orgs might also be open to hacking as they haven't learned yet."
