Big Data

[hugebrain]

My technical vocabulary is getting a bit out of date.

Where I work there are a bunch of clouds, data lakes, non-relational databases, microservices and such like. Lots of information zipping about.

So my questions:

1. Is this big data?

2. Can I raise my rate to a grand a day?

Failing that.

1. Is this DevOps

2. Can I raise my rate to a grand a day?


I don’t want to repeat my mistake of rejecting all the jobs that wanted “Redbrick Universities” because I thought I’d have to work with plebs.

you can raise your rate to whatever you like. Getting a contract is a different.

PowerPoint and gravitas are your ticket to a grand a day.

You've failed to enumerate properly. At least the answer to both 2s is no.

Big data = have a data lake.
Not big data = have more than one data lake

Why not? I thought these were the In things (although I like the PowerPoint idea too).

A company should only have one data lake.

A company should only have one data lake.

I'm sure you're correct. I wasn't paying much attention in the meetings. So if we had one of those it's big data?

Problem is you’re a cretin.

That's why I come here. You guys keep going on about how wonderfully clever you are, so you should be able to help me.

Not sure about aTw though, it's not even a proper anagram if you have to use the same letter twice.
