The world tried to kill Andy off but he had to stay alive to to talk about what happened with databases in 2025.

Andy rises from the ashes of his dead startup and discusses what happened in 2024 in the database game.
Living in Data: A Citizen's Guide to a Better Information Future (Paperback)
Jer Thorp’s analysis of the word “data” in 10,325 New York Times stories written between 1984 and 2018 shows a distinct trend: among the words most closely associated with “data,” we find not only its classic companions “information” and “digital,” but also a variety of new neighbors—from “scandal” and “misinformation” to “ethics,” “friends,” and “play.”To live in data in the twenty-first century

Data Scientist: The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century
Back in the 1990s, computer engineer and Wall Street “quant” were the hot occupations in business. Today data scientists are the hires firms are competing to make. As companies wrestle with unprecedented volumes and types of information, demand for these experts has raced well ahead of supply. Indeed, Greylock Partners, the VC firm that backed Facebook and LinkedIn, is so worried about the shortage of data scientists that it has a recruiting team dedicated to channeling them to the businesses in its portfolio. Data scientists are the key to realizing the opportunities presented by big data. They bring structure to it, find compelling patterns in it, and advise executives on the implications for products, processes, and decisions. They find the story buried in the data and communicate it. And they don’t just deliver reports: They get at the questions at the heart of problems and devise creative approaches to them. One data scientist who was studying a fraud problem, for example, realized it was analogous to a type of DNA sequencing problem. Bringing those disparate worlds together, he crafted a solution that dramatically reduced fraud losses. In this article, Harvard Business School’s Davenport and Greylock’s Patil take a deep dive on what organizations need to know about data scientists: where to look for them, how to attract and develop them, and how to spot a great one.

After a really annoying, stressful, and downright nauseating weekend, I feel like a wittled down eraser. Between being stalked and harrassed, losing a place I had loved, breaking in a new system member and seeing my friends suffer, this has felt like an extremely exhausting week.

I would agree that this Doctorow post not good. This paragraph in particular irks me. I think that a "database of earlier hacking challenges" implies plainly false things about what happened, like that the attack vector was not novel (a previously unknown-by-any-person vulnerability was exploited)
Will Stancil
No. This Cory Doctorow post is awful and borders on actual misinformation. The fact that a widely respected voice like him is spreading this kind of false narrative is, again, a giant blaring alarm about the effect the Bluesky info environment is having on people’s brains.
Data leaks in Japan 2026
I’ve long been critical of the weak cybersecurity in Japan, but this is specifically about the series of data leaks circa September/October 2026 (hoping it won’t go on for longer). This is unfortunately such a huge I Told You So moment for me
