Are Data Contracts Dead?

The truth of the matter is that there is always a plethora of new ideas and technologies rattling around in the Data World, the ever-present humdrum of advertisements that relentlessly work to part us from our dollars.

For some reason, I feel people forget this important fact. While there are lots of good people building good things for the good of humanity, there are also a lot of people building things with the sole purpose of selling a thing, and for a pretty penny at that.

It’s become commonplace today to see some new tool on GitHub, some veneer of “open-source,” this or that, only to be the worm on the hook of a Company bent on selling you their hosted SaaS or whatever.

Call me jaded if you want, for indeed, jaded I am.
