Listen "Work smarter, not harder"
Episode Synopsis
Perfectionism. Over-engineering. Spending way too much time on regex code that should've just been a copy-paste. In this episode of The View on Data, Faith, Ric, and Grace swap stories about the times they brute-forced their way through data work, and the lessons learned when they finally stepped back. They discuss: Why "good enough" is sometimes the smartest path How automation (and dbt) can actually free you up to focus The messy reality of context switching and burnout Making space for life outside of work (improv, pottery, and laying on the floor count) It's a candid look at what it takes to do data work without letting it consume you. Created by Bolaji Oyejide, produced by Katie Chubb, and edited by Jeff Fox.
