    Data Debt

    I had never heard of data debt until I saw this article on the topic. In reading it, I couldn't help thinking that most everyone has data debt, it creates inefficiencies, and it's unlikely we'll get rid of it. And by the way, it's too late to get this under control. I somewhat dismissed the article when I saw this: "addressing data debt in its early stages is crucial to ensure that it does not become an overwhelming barrier to progress." I know it's a barrier, as I assume most of you also know, but it's also not stopping us. We keep building more apps, databases, and systems, and accruing more data debt. Somehow, most organizations keep running. The description of debt might help here. How many of you have inconsistent data standards, where you might define a data element differently in different databases? Maybe you have duplicated data that is slow to update (think ETL/warehouses), maybe you have different ways of tracking a completed sale in different systems. Maybe you even store dates in different formats (int, string, or something weirder). How many of you lack some documentation on what the columns in your databases mean? Maybe I should ask the reverse, where the few of you who have complete data dictionaries can raise your hands. Read the rest of Data Debt

    Creating vs. Maintaining

    If your job as a developer or DBA has been like mine, it's a constant stream of requests to change something, often without enough information and short deadlines that create a bit of stress. There's always more work to be done, and while it might be a great job, you're often trying to finish something quickly enough to get to the next thing. In this mode, how often do you think about creating (or modifying) the thing you're working on for today vs maintaining it for tomorrow. In other words, do you consider how easily your work can be understood, is documented, is designed to allow for flexibility, and can be enhanced without many (any?) side effects, or anything else.

    Can You Become a More Productive Engineer?

    The short answer is of course, most of us can learn and improve our skills to become better developers, engineers, DBAs, etc. While we might not be able to become the 10x engineer that many aspire to be, we can certainly become a better employee inside of an organization. There's a piece on becoming a more effective engineer, which is actually titled know how your org works. It a piece from an engineer that started with a tweet: The text was:You can either complain and pontificate on Twitter on how the tech industry *should* ideally work, or you can learn how your org *really* works and what’s rewarded, and optimize for that. Or quit and find another job.  This might sound cynical - but it’s what it is. That sounds a little harsh, but the reality of how your org works or is structured or interacts is a reality. We all have hindsight to look back and wish someone (including us) had written code better. We might be sure if we could change one thing, or add/remove someone else, or make some other change, then things would be better. We might feel that there is a simple solution. Those things might be true, but they aren't the reality of the situation. Read the rest of Can You Become a More Productive Engineer?
