I recently came across interesting thoughts about data and software on social media.
The blunt summary of those were :
Software people saying data is "useless".
Data people saying software is "useless".
Well, truth is, it's not a match and both sides are right.
Both sides are useless without the other.
You can expect good things from your infrastructure when good data meets good software.
(And I am not talking good software technically but functionally)
