Not trying to be antagonistic here for what it's worth - I see your statement as far more guilty of casting your understanding of this technology as a culture jamming point of pride than the GP.
Furthermore the implication that "people who unironically refer to this process as ETL" is the dominant culture (and statements expressing the irony of giving the most common form of computation a specific meaningless acronym are necessarily "culture jamming") is not correct in my experience but YMMV
- kthejoker2 5y agoI don't know your world, but this is like telling a carpenter that hammers, jigsaws, and mahogany are "buzzword bingo", it's condescending and disrespectful. Dominant culture has nothing to do with it, it's about respecting boundaries. You not knowing something isn't an indictment on the something.
- skrebbel 5y agoI said it was buzzword bingo to me. Nothing about that is condescending. I clearly and explicitly painted myself as a layperson before asking a basic question, further indicating that yes, I'm a layperson and no, I'm not trying to be condescending.
- cwyers 5y agoETL is a term that dates back to the 70s, and is familiar to anyone who is doing any medium to large scale database management. I'm not saying that everyone has to know about relational databases, but to treat the _relational database_ and its attendant terms as out of the mainstream and "buzzwords" is just weird.
