Join 📚 Kevin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Kevin's read, .
**Data Minds** are *data producers* (predominantly Data engineers) who *build infrastructure and data products* for consumption by business users or end users.
**Business minds** are *data consumers* of this made-available data that *perform analysis* to aid in business decisions or strategies.
Both of these minds view data differently based on their roles, and their view of data quality is very different, as are their measurement and observations made.
Different personas ( Data Engineers, Scientists, Data Stewards, Data Analysts, etc.) look at the same data through different lenses; however, they still need to come together and collaborate to win.
This support of various personas is foundational and critical for better business outcomes and to enable organizations to become more data-driven.
What Is Modern Data Quality?

Indeed, *Alan Newell* said something to this effect in 1990:
"The question for me is
how can the human mind occur in the physical universe?
We now know that the world is governed by physics.
We now understand the way biology nestles comfortably within that.
The issue is how will the mind do that as well.
The answer must have the details.
I [need] to know how the gears clank
and how the pistons go
and all the rest of that detail.
My question leads me
to worry about the architecture".
AGI Will Not Happen in Your Lifetime. Or Will It?
Gary Marcus
We live in a cancerous economy, one that regularly rewards those that can abstract as much value from labor with as little participation or value of the actual work product as possible.
The rot will continue until the markets realize that a company cannot grow forever, and we societally reevaluate how we value a business.
