What's common about big data?
My guess is that almost all programming jobs are in fields that produce no more data than a gb or two a month.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I would guess that there are far more companies making project management software, time tracking apps, invoicing software, etc. than there are facebooks, googles or reddits obsessively logging every user mouse twitch.
And that's data that's much better sitting in a nice, normal, relational database.
- misterman0 7y ago>> facebooks, googles or reddits Yes, it definitely seems with market leadership comes big data. Seems to me big data is highly relevant. More relevant now than ever.
