Data.world

Data modeling isn’t new. So why is it still a problem? Maybe the problem isn’t data modeling itself, but rather there is no modern solution for companies, or the incentives are not well understood. It’s a learn-as-you-go type of thing, but that’s where the trouble lies. Do you hire one data engineer and have them do everything? Do we encourage training in data modeling? OR… do we throw in the towel and keep doing things as they’ve always been done? ﻿Join Tim, Juan, and special guest Anna Abramova from SqlDBM to answer these burning questions on this week’s episode of Catalog &amp; Cocktails.

Do you hire one data engineer and have them do everything? Do we encourage training in data modeling? OR… do we throw in the towel and keep doing things as they’ve always been done?
