Don’t believe what you read on new report of medical error deaths
Take the "news" that medical errors are the third leading cause of death with a grain of salt. Medical errors are poorly defined, and that estimate has been around for awhile.

New blog post! ETL, ELT, and Reverse ETL are products of siloed teams and Conway's Law in action. To move forward, we need to replace the ELT mindset with the graph mindset—focusing on consumption and collaboration.

Dismantling ELT: The Case for Graphs, Not Silos — Jack Vanlightly
ELT is a bridge between silos. A world without silos is a graph. I’ve been banging my drum recently about the ills of Conway’s Law and the need for low-coupling data architectures. In my Curse of Conway and the Data Space blog post, I explored how Conway’s Law manifests in the disconnect between software development and data analytics teams. It is a structural issue stemming from siloed organizational designs, and it not only causes inefficiencies and poor collaboration but ultimately hinders business agility and effectiveness.

About 1 in 4 American adults have developed some type of long term health issues from their COVID infections. Data is limited, but it seems reasonable to assume this ratio is similar in other countries.

At screenings of "Wicked," some fans have defied theater etiquette by singing along with their favorite characters, much to the chagrin and annoyance of other viewers.

Many have taken to social media to issue a strict edict: Shush.

Science misinterpreted again - this time by Australian govt to justify teen social media bans. Our work shows responses to social media vary individually. We never advocated for blanket bans. Happy to engage with MPs on evidence-based policy. Let's get this right!
