7 years ago today @bweissman.bsky.social and I did a thing. It wasn't the first DataGrillen, but it was the first of the current (and better) version. We had new speakers with mentors (later to become New Stars of Data) Great times!

As an IT professional, I avoid printing more than any other technology out there (even more than java) Then comes Christmas when my wife wants to print address labels. Yesterday it worked fine. Today I have to print some more... "printer error"... no further information

@arcticdba.se Extending the quote from Amir Netz "5 seconds to setup. 5 Minutes to wow" By adding "5 months to clean up" 😁 There is so much that needs to be done to get the foundations right in an analytics environment. Fundamentals matter! It is easier to spend time up-front to get it right
