I started attending conferences for the first time circa 2022. I'd been made aware of the data community a couple years earlier by accident, and I finally felt ready to attend my first conference. Needless to say, it was daunting. The one thing I knew going in was the importance of talking to everyone, as most people who know me are abundantly aware of.

"Someone moved your cheese." I get some odd looks for it, because frankly I was only 5 when this book came out.

If you've escaped string parsing thus far, count thyself lucky. I've seen some numbing scripts from pre-SQL Server 2016 when STRING_SPLIT was introduced.

I've been using the IMDb's public dataset since my early days of presenting.
