data lake, delta lake, lake house. snowflake, snowpark. cloud, data warehouse. I just want to take a second to thank these companies for trying to turn my profession (data science + analytics) into the living hell of your every day enterprise and tech culture cluster-fuck (pun not intended).

I'm still coming to terms with the fact that there's actually a technology called Kafka...

/sorry, I'm just particularly bitter after having to do some databricks training yesterday... it was basically 80% trying to rote the sales literature about why they're so great/enterprisy and parroting company and platform specific jargon. I don't like seeing my profession turn into an obsession with tech and platforms when 99.9% of companies and people can't reason properly or operate their current tools/resources efficiently. obviously just my own opinion.
