Career question for data/analytics folks!

~8 mo in a "data analyst" role and a higher-up asked me to define my real role, the D/A stack, and our hiring plan

Does designing the warehouse/modeling/orchestration/BI/tracking architecture count as Architect? Engineer? Something else?

Why does negative feedback feel more helpful than positive feedback/praise?

The only thing I can come up with is that critique gives a boundary for the performance space, but positivity is open-ended.

Space.com coverage too: www.space.com/space-explor...

Researchers at UCSD found, with a few hundred dollars of equipment, that many seemingly critical satellite communications are unencrypted.

I feel like online college course catalogs are, almost universally, bad user experiences.

Are there any examples of well-designed versions of these systems?

Shout-out to whoever invented blueberries.

Top notch work

Happy Halloween y'all!

The Epstein Ballroom budget is bigger than I realized!

Adding that there is evidence from Mesopotamia of older divination practices, but not written. At least as far as I know ha.

What are oracle bones? - BBC Bitesize Lots of oracle bones have been found in China which were created during the Shang Dynasty. Find out what they are in this Bitesize Primary KS2 history guide.

Here's random history for Halloween!

I found this (not my work; similar area) and saw some overlap, maybe, with what you are working to describe - in case interesting! www.preprints.org/manuscript/2... (Claiborne, 2025, Recursive Distinction Theory)

The "tool" is often the connective logic for user data anyways

Isaac Newton was buried in Westminster Abbey, with various heads of state serving as pallbearers. He has a fancy statue that still marks his tomb.

Do you think we'll ever have sciencey folk held in that high of a regard again?
