One thing that was really jarring for me moving from the startup/consulting/advertising space to the research space was that human subjects data really gets deleted.
It's not just the deleted_at column being set, there's no backup, it's really gone. Every copy, forever.
I appreciate the ethics of it, and part of my reason for working in this area is because of these ethics, but even 5 years in there is so much reluctance to press that delete button.
