When Your "Big Data" Fits In A Spreadsheet

When Your "Big Data" Fits In A Spreadsheet

The joke here is that 60,000 rows is an absolutely tiny dataset in modern data engineering. Like, microscopic. A competent data engineer could process this on a 10-year-old laptop while running a YouTube video in the background.

It's like bragging that your car overheated after driving to the end of your driveway. Any data pipeline that can't handle 60K rows without hardware failure is the computational equivalent of a paper airplane trying to carry passengers across the Atlantic.

Real data engineers regularly process billions of rows without breaking a sweat. This is why everyone's laughing - it's the equivalent of someone claiming to be a weightlifting champion because they can lift a gallon of milk.
