  • Same. Especially since I’ve been building EDWs for most of my career. People are always surprised that it actually takes time to integrate with different systems.

    “What do you mean you can’t just pull all the data out of this system that we don’t have database access to and are still building out the APIs?”

    I kid… The people asking for stuff don’t know what backend databases and APIs are.






  • I was talking to a friend just yesterday. She got offered a job but has to take a drug test and it somehow slipped her mind that this would be a possibility. So when the HR person gave her the offer and mentioned the need for a drug test, my friend said “oooohh yeah, I’m going on vacation this week and next, so I can get that scheduled when I get back.”

    The HR person said, “we should get it done ASAP before you go on vacation. Delaying a drug test isn’t a good look.” My friend told me her internal thoughts, which were “dammit can’t you just be cool for like a MINUTE!”
