yeah but who was getting better stuff on their resume? didn't you get the memo about perl? Just because your throw-away 40 line script worked from cron for fiv

yeah but who was getting better stuff on their resume? didn't you get the memo about perl? Just because your throw-away 40 line script worked from cron for five years without issue doesn't mean that a seven node hadoop cluster didn't come with benefits. You got to write in a language called "pig"! so fun.

I still think that it'd be easier to maintain the script that runs on a single computer than to maintain a hadoop cluster.

  The resume would look better if you used Python and Polars ;-)

    Using Rust and Polars over here; am I doing this right?

      You are probably too early, but looks like a good investment.

There was a time, about 10 years ago, when Hadoop/Spark was on just about every back-end job post out there.

  I was in the field at the time and I agree. I thought it had to be what the big boys used. Then I realized that my job involves huge amounts of structured data and our MySQL instance handled everything quite well.

maybe we should all start to add "evaluated a hadoop cluster for X applications and saved the company 1mi (in time, headcount, and uptime) a year going with a 40line perl script"

  I like this idea. And something similar for evaluating blockchains and sticking with a relational database instead.
