I wonder how much money is wasted trying to engineer ourself out of the mess left from when the secretaries were fired. There is no way to organize data without ongoing work in catalogizing it and purge irrelevant items.
- civilized 5y agoYou've got it. My company just got a fancy data catalog and while it is helpful, what it's really revealed is the godawful mess of 1000x duplicated, completely undocumented tables and schemas we have, thanks to decades of neglect and shortcuts. I've been trying to populate the catalog with a bit more explanation of what things are for + data dictionaries, but it feels like boiling the ocean.
