The 5 Best Data Operations Posts from 2023
Reviewing the best 5 essays from 2023 in a special year-end edition. Read: "Everything Starts Out Looking Like a Toy" #178
Hi, I’m Greg 👋! I write weekly product essays, including system “handshakes”, the expectations for workflow, and the jobs to be done for data. What is Data Operations? was the first post in the series.
This week’s toy: a software developer creates auto-generated deep fake AI of “David Attenborough” doing a real-time commentary. It’s pretty amazing in its detail and should both amuse you and ring alarm bells about the veracity of content you view. Edition 178 of this newsletter is here - it’s December 29, 2023.
