5 Questions you need to ask before taking on any data project
When you get a vague data request, ask these questions!

Treat data like blood donations. Ask A LOT of questions.
Whose blood is this? Where did you get this blood? Why is there so much blood? Does the person you collected this blood from know you have it? Did anyone see you take this blood?
Now replace “blood” with “data”

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

I’m starting to think that the only reason humans are going to be involved heavily in AI over the long haul, is that we’re the ones providing a conscience to the machine, in tight reactive loops (“WhatTF?! No Claude. No.”)
