Also I will say.
There is some fantastic tooling for machine learning.
Databricks, GCP, everyone knows it.
The issue is that the data industry was raised from birth in complete fear of the boogeyman.
The boogeyman is Oracle. And the frankly ridiculous things Oracle did in the bad old days.
Hence most places have a constant internal conflict between "look here are all these brilliant data science tools" and "ah shit, GCP costs a ton of money when some idiot runs a select * query on a join across 5 TB of data."
But there are plenty of great tools.
- tomrod 5y agoCan you speak a bit more to this? I dislike Oracle with a passion, but I am not sure how the GCP comment connects.
- urthor 5y agoIt's just $$$. You can save a LOT of money in GCP by specifying the columns you actually need in your queries, and various very simple SQL optimization techniques. Everyone is scared of the cost of these vendor tools.
