Day 1 at the Data School involved a fair amount of admin and introductions so let's forget about that.
Jenny has been teaching us all sorts today:
- Modern Data Architecture 🏗️
- Ecosystems 🌱
- Answering questions with data 🙋♀️

Raw data can have indigestion ?!?!
Part of the modern analytics pipeline involves the ingestion of raw data to a central data source using a system such as SQL or Alteryx. The rest of the pipeline involves preparing the data for visualisation, ensuring the data can be trusted and building the visualisation. We only got that wrong once or twice

You must use Linked In. People in their early 20s don't make the most of it then reach their early 40s and go "OOPS"
(Okay he didn't say oops but I'm paraphrasing). Building a network is key to owning your own company or at least reaching a management position. Tonight I'll be adding the 300 people in the Data School Alumni group as instructed. Sanjeev looked only a little bit embarrassed.
Postman Pats
DS40 has not just the first former postperson to be hired by the Data School, but the first 2. You wait 40 cohorts for a post person and 2 come along at once!
Meeting the Team
Buddies and pods have been assigned... Battle of the pods commences. I think most of the cohort have signed up for the "Christmas" holiday to Portugal too.
AOB
Ollie appears to have the strongest gif game so far.
