I was given the opportunity to do a little online interview. It’s primarily about promotion, but I thought I’d share it with you. If you’re wondering what I think of the current state of the industry, go here to check it out.

Great article Grant. I agree with the comments on PowerShell. They weren’t using it (much) at my last gig, so I bought about 4 books and taught myself – boy was it worth the effort.
Any time I see “Data …” my mind sees Data Science. Though this article isn’t specific to DS, I believe that it’s a hot topic now, especially since SS 2017 incorporates Python. I think DBAs will have to learn some of the basics of DS since that seems to be the “new shiny object” in IT. I would imagine many DBAs out there have math related degrees, which would make them highly desirable in a business environment.
Just my 2 cents.
And a nice 2 cents it is.
I agree on the Data Science thing, although, it’s mostly about the math, not the technology. If you don’t have it, learning, especially at my age, is tough (doable, but tough).
