What Is A Data Backup Worth?

The value of backups follows the classic IT tragedy in three acts:

Act I: "What's a backup worth?" you ask, staring at your perfectly functional system.

Act II: "Nothing," you decide, because everything's working fine and storage costs money.

Act III: After your production database spontaneously combusts at 4:30pm on a Friday before a holiday weekend, suddenly that backup is worth your entire career, marriage, and will to live.

Funny how perspective changes when you're staring at the digital equivalent of a burning city.

Select Data Science From SQL

Ah yes, the classic executive who just discovered the term "data science" and now thinks anyone who can run a basic SQL query is suddenly a data scientist. Nothing says "I understand tech" quite like watching someone execute SELECT * FROM table and immediately asking if they should update their LinkedIn to "Senior ML Engineer." Meanwhile, actual data scientists with PhDs in statistics are quietly crying into their Jupyter notebooks.

One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

Ah, the alternative definition of Oracle that database administrators whisper when license auditors aren't around. The company's licensing costs are so astronomical that you need venture capital funding just to run a "Hello World" query. Oracle DBAs don't have retirement plans—they just have Oracle license negotiation PTSD. The real database transaction is the money leaving your company account.
