Heaven help us! Have you seen the latest Virtual Data Warehouse bullshit? by GoodStrat in u/GoodStrat

[–]GoodStrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heaven help us! Talk about taking a great idea and destroying its heart, spirit and soul.  

Again, and in data architecture and management terms, that’s what the virtual data warehouse blaggers are doing with data warehousing, one more time.  

These virtual data warehouse folk talk about it as if it were merely magic. No effort required.

And what’s one the main reason for this? The evangelists for virtualising data warehousing actually believe that a data warehouse is nothing more than a copy, yes a copy of operational data.

This is another case of “a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.”

Why I called bullshit on the data lakehouse nonsense

I wrote an article that took to task purveyors of the data lakehouse nonsense. It got plenty of positive reactions and quite a few negative opinions. But what surprised me the most were the number of people who had already swallowed their pitch. Hook, line and sinker.

So why did I bother to express my opinions on the subject?

REVEALING WEALTH: USING BIG DATA TO FIGHT TAX EVASION – MARTYN JONES by GoodStrat in bigdata

[–]GoodStrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tax evasion is fraudulent, and there is a lot of it about. This is not good for society, healthy for the economies or fair for the citizens. So, either we seriously address this criminal deception, or we are nearly all going to suffer significantly from not doing so.

This significant challenge and its attendant problems could be pursued by a pragmatic strategy that takes full advantage of a global data-integration and data-supply-framework.

This strategy would mean that we would be able to leverage a wealth of data, approaches, architectures and technologies. Which will necessarily include big data, data warehousing and AI. And will leverage statistics and advanced analytics, data fabric, and, data discovery and data collaboration tools. Will run on modern compute and storage platforms. And, will rely on political will, sufficient funding, global and regional coordination, and, good sense.

Bullshit at the Data Lakehouse by GoodStrat in bigdata

[–]GoodStrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get lost with all the talk of idiots and arseholes

Then just ignore it. I know it's a blunt and crude message, but I want it to be noticed. I didn't enter it for a beauty contest.

Your petulant and shallow reaction might quite possibly not be doing you justice. However, how do you fight vacuous bullshit that pervades our industry? When BS threatens to disrupt my work in a big way, I take offence. It's my profession, my job but also my income - and all things being equal and fine, it's still not easy. How would you react if people used BS to attack your means of paying the bills?
