Hey there team! Gosh, it sure has been awhile — it’s probably not worth reading anything below this post, since that was the old me, and I’m much older and wiser now.\u00a0 Seriously, just ignore anything you see underneath this post, it’s the mindless ramblings of a child with a tiny, tiny brain.<\/p>\n

\"College<\/a>
The guy in the front is me, two years ago, drinking … “Lonkero”?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway, since there’s a link to this site on my resume, and I work in data-heavy fields, I just thought I’d drop a quick post in here to talk about how great Big Data is in case there are any future employers reading! Anyway, it’s pretty wonderful, and you should try it out.\u00a0 Here’s three reasons why:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Data — it helps you make decisions, and it’s never wrong. How could it be? It’s\u00a0literal facts,<\/em> and facts can’t be wrong. Or even misinterpreted in any way. So, do what the data tells you to do. It is your master and you have no choice but to obey.<\/li>\n
  2. I really like working with it.\u00a0 Some people get annoyed by the fact that data can be messy and hard to work with, but for me, it’s just another mystery to solve.\u00a0 And I love mysteries!<\/li>\n
  3. Working with data makes you smart.\u00a0 Like,\u00a0really<\/em> smart.\u00a0 Sheldon from\u00a0The Big Bang Theory<\/em>\u00a0probably works with data, and think about how smart that guy is!\u00a0 (Love that show btw, super funny, not derivative and caricaturish.)\u00a0 If you work with data, you’re obviously extremely capable, and you should probably be paid a lot of money for whatever you do — and get hella benefits too.\u00a0 Like 401(k) match and primo healthcare\u00a0at least,<\/em>\u00a0plus probably a sizable chunk of equity and maybe a gym membership and like free massages and stuff.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Anyway, that’s why I love big data! Stop reading now,\u00a0please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
