I recently got certified with cloudera (CCAH) and found myself the only one in class who really uses Hadoop. I often stumble upon people trying to sell Big Data appliances to brand owners “to store and monitor their social network XXX” where XXX may be replaced by any word that tickles or frightens brand owners. My personal opinion is, if you are a brand owner or not, doesn’t matter, data matters....

Today I do not have very much to do at work. I am not moaning about it, I would just like to point out that my actual team has a very strict “don’t change anything that works before a holiday or the weekend”-policy, this is a very good policy, but it leads to personal downtimes on fridays and the days before holidays for obvious reasons that I like to fill with personal development....
