Cheap, fast, widely available, general-purpose programmable neural nets are making unstructured data more valuable than ever. The surface area of data processing is set to grow immensely over the next decade.
CodeStrap's "Code and Connor" Episode 10 releases on Monday, September 8th, 2025, with our friend Benjamin Rogojan, better known as The
@SeattleDataGuy . With 7 million views and 115,000 subscribers on YouTube, Ben is the go-to expert on all things data engineering and science. Ben has spent his career focused on helping companies develop end-to-end data solutions that are both simple and maintainable, indeed, no easy feat.
Our tenth episode focuses on:
→ Struggles around data engineering and digital transformations
→ Velocity vs. Quality and techniques to achieve both
→ Understanding the tradeoffs made in data engineering
→ Why do large-scale data engineering at all with an 80% failure rate
→ Outcomes-focused, with a data team vision
→ Who should own the data - COO? CFO? Certainly not CDO
→ Using data at the speed of operations
→ More capability through AI means more data, which means more complexity
→ Making the case for decentralization
→ Pricing transparency across Snowflake, Palantir, Databricks, GCP
→ DevCorner: Serverless vs. Container-based
