Just because you can say it doesn’t mean that you can do it

Martyn Jones, New York, 25th September 2024

Narrator: There is a fascinating famous saying, “Just because you can write something, draw something, or say something, doesn’t mean that you can do it”, that I think could be further explored in the context of data and analytics. It seems to go hand in hand with expressions such as “It must be true because I read it on the internet”. Also, it can be pretty surprising how many businesses expect their people to lie where it’s practical and commercially beneficial.

The best way to avoid creating data silos is to develop a plethora of data silos?

Narrator: Data Warehousing is an excellent integrator; it is the cohesive melting pot of data and the best-known way of providing multiple valid versions of the truth depending on who is looking at the data, when they are doing so, and from what perspective.

Physician, heal thyself!

Narrator: Consider this. If the originators, acolytes and sycophants of data mesh hadn’t been so free and easy with how they created and perpetrated technical debt, especially data model and data quality-related technical debt, then we wouldn’t need data mesh to try and get us out of the mess these sloppy developer people put us into in the first place.

Bonn 28th August 2017

In my opinion, Brexit, any Brexit, could spell economic, political and social disaster for the UK. Brexit could ensure the demise of the Good Friday Agreement, with seriously damaging consequences. It could see the independence of Scotland – not necessarily a bad thing for Scotland, but yet another unintended consequence of Brexit. And, it could significantly deteriorate the rights and conditions of workers in the UK.

So, I wish to put a Brexit question to Jeremy Corbyn.

Will the working people in the UK be better off if the UK leaves the European Union?

Bornheim, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany – 25th August 2017

When you offer people all of the benefits of the single market and the customs union, but without any of the EU bureaucracy, constraints and costs, what happens?

We ran an experimental consultation last year in the UK just to demonstrate what happens when bat-shit-crazy mad-cow Britain has a chance to throw a spanner in the works. Some people will inevitably believe the boloney whilst others will use it as a mere tool in a simple-minded and obtuse attempt to rationalise their own irrationality and misanthropy. Nobody can throw a spanner in the works quite like the Brits.

To Begin at the Beginning

I have been involved in an in-depth study of the changing face of IT. This includes data architecture and data management. I spent all afternoon, as a matter of fact, examining the challenges that the profession faces.

In particular, I have focused on emerging and evolving roles and responsibilities. I have examined their significance and synergies. Additionally, I considered their collaborative potential in a future marked by high-speed, volatile, and unpredictable conditions.
