Idea for new year resolution - IBI



In case anyone is looking for an idea for new year's resolution, I would like to suggest IBI (Individual Business Intelligence). You probably have tried to know yourself socially, religiously, spiritually, etc., and probably failed. Give a try to know yourself better factually with IBI. 

For the past 313 days I have spent around 5 to 7 minutes every single day to capture data (quantitative and qualitative) about me, range of data points (dreams, ideas, movie time, work hours, family time, health, etc.) that I think are important to me.  Have I made lot of money with this? No, in fact I make 40% less money than I used to make after I switched to part-time work.  If money is the only thing that drives you, this won't make much sense. 

I have this feeling that everything is connected but we don't see the connections, the deeper we go, the more connections we will see.  I don't want to bore you with my personal data, but at the same time I want to create awareness and show the possibilities that arises when we capture our own data. I wish I knew something like this when I was in school, by now I would have around 20 years of data about me.

ETL developer vs Data engineer

Rephrased question : ETL developer vs Data engineer Answer : Unfortunately there are no strict industry standards on these job titles. That is just one part of it. Before ETL tools such as DataStage, Informatica, Ab Initio, etc., became popular, developers were hand coding every ETL flow. These ETL tools shortened the ETL flow development time to a great extent and allowed ETL developers to focus on business rule/logic/requirement (what to implement) than how to code it or optimize the code. There are many other benefits of using a tool but I won’t go into that in this answer. So an ETL developer with experience in these tools without any programming (coding) experience was/is able to design and develop end to end data flows. Whenever new types of source/target data format comes up, these tools catch up but it takes time, i.e., the ETL tool provider (e.g. Microsoft, IBM, etc.,) adds new components/connectors within the ETL tool to be able to work with new data format. For example, let’

3 years of IBI

This week (on 19th Feb 2020) I completed 3 years of IBI. To celebrate it I have created a Dashboard in Google Data Studio. So from now on instead of using the charts in the Google Sheets I will use the Dashboard. Google Data Studio is more user friendly and mobile friendly too, also it comes with easy to use filters and drill down/up capabilities. PDF version of the first 2 pages of the shareable dashboard is attached below. I am happy to share the first 2 pages of the IBI Dashboard, reach out to me if you would like to get the Google Data Studio IBI dashboard. Once you get the dashboard (without my data of course) you can make a copy of it and point it to your IBI data (assuming you have started), add more charts, pages, etc., and use it for your benefit. Like with every year, this IBI year too I have learnt a lot about myself, made new mistakes, changed several things about me. The benefits of IBI is much more than we can think of. Use it to know it. And what are some of the
