The data analysis process needs to be taken out of the office and inculcated as a lifestyle.
Accumulating data about your life affords you the opportunity to examine it. Analysing them gives you the ability to notice possible problems before they occur – another superpower.

Boring pipelines > innovative ones that crash daily.
The best pipelines aren’t clever. They’re forgettable.

Databricks Workflows: Skip ADF if you’re already in Databricks. Fewer handoffs = fewer failures.
Stop using chainsaws to slice tomatoes. 🍅
