Data Modeling at Scale.
Lessons from the trenches.
The age-old battles, I carry the scars. Times have changed, and technology has changed, but challenges and bitter hand-to-hand combat have not.
I found, and have the wounds to prove it, that there are few things in the life of a Data Soldier as contentious as Data Modeling.
There are memories I have buried deep in the dusty recesses of my mind, memories of conference rooms, whiteboards, angry and red-faced zealots scribbling furiously, diagraming their way to The Promised Land.
Such is Data Modeling. There is no room to take prisoners, it's all or nothing, my way or the highway.
