If it runs fast fast enough or the business can wait long enough, slow and ugly is acceptable.

- thomzi12 7y agoYes, in particular for data analysts using SQL to answer product/business questions in a one-off fashion
- MaxBarraclough 7y agoUnless the dataset grows, poorly optimised queries slow down superlinearly, and things start falling over.
- deepsun 6y agoThat's exactly what I look against on interviews. Slow SQL queries tend to work fine for some time, and as data grows, they start failing. I'd want to hire a professional, who knows the perfect way of doing that, so for them it would be as easy to make it right, as to make it ugly.
