1. It’s Freedom of Creativity Many people think you need A’s in math to program. That’s a misconception. Programming is more about logic and creativity. For example, you and your friends jokingly come up with an excellent smartphone game. You can wait for some company over the ocean to release it or make it yourself. You decide how this game will work and what the rules, interface, and functions will be.

In this series of blogs, I will define what a Data Swamp really is and why it may not be a bad thing. More importantly, I will explain how straightforward it is to keep a data lake from becoming a Data Swamp or how to turn your Data Swamp into a data lake.

What trade to make is always a given, typically from a portfolio manager.

Automated tests are important. Without them, programmers waste a huge amount of time manually checking and fixing their code. Unfortunately, many automated tests also waste a huge amount of time. The easy, obvious way to write tests is to make broad tests that are automated versions of manual tests. But they’re flaky and slow. Folks in the know use mocks and spies (I say “mocks” for short in this article) to write isolated interaction-based tests.
