I’ve been thinking about the wonderful world of data products! Yikes! Well, it’s a popular subject right!<\/p>\n
So, I thought why not have a bit of fun as it’s Thursday and we are nearing the weekend! It’s been a tough few days and I need to vent!<\/p>\n
I’ve often wondered what happens in the afterlife of our dearly departed data products. All that debt, hey, just lying around! Not harming anyone!<\/p>\n
So, the virtual graveyard, is where they all end up. A beautiful utopia where algorithms go to retire and dashboards kick back in eternal chill mode.<\/p>\n
Now, I know what you are thinking, has he lost his marbles?<\/p>\n
Or are you asking “What on earth in binary hell is a Virtual Graveyard?”<\/p>\n
Well, it’s like a VIP club for retired data, where outdated code parties like it’s Y2K, and old machine learning models are sipping on virtual mojitos, reminiscing about the good old data-mining days. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n
But, there is a big problem with that right?<\/p>\n
ESG!<\/p>\n
Here is some wisdom about being eco-friendly. Well it’s not just about hugging trees, it’s about hugging servers too!<\/p>\n
I’ve got long arms and the servers are nice and warming too!<\/p>\n
So here I outline some things that all data teams can plan around to greenwash (I mean ESG the crap out of stuff!)<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49Recycling Bin Diving: Forget bin diving; we’re diving into the recycling bin for some quality reusable code. It’s like a charity shop for algorithms \u2013 reduce, reuse, and keep those digital threads alive!<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49Data Product Pet Cemetery: Imagine a serene virtual space where data products kick back, surrounded by tombstones that read, “Here Lies Excel 2003 \u2013 It VLOOKUP’d its last.” Pay respects with well-documented comments <sarcasm>, and maybe leave a virtual flower emoji.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49Comedy Roasts for Data: Let’s roast those outdated data products with love! Picture a virtual stand-up gig where deprecated algorithms grab the mic and spill the binary tequila (or tea) on their digital misadventures.<\/p>\n
So, in the immortal words of our data forefathers: (No I’m not getting political):<\/p>\n
“Ask not what your outdated data products can do for you, but what you can do for your outdated data products!”<\/p>\n
