About hypergeneralists and division of labor in the AI age
Some time ago, I read an interesting interview with the CEO of Microsoft Belgium [Didier Ongena] in a Flemish newspaper. It tackled the usual topics about artificial intelligence and how it will influence all aspects of a business over time (no big bang but a gradual increase - I fully agree here), but what mainly … Continue reading About hypergeneralists and division of labor in the AI age
The relation between 19 and 42
Last week I learned about 42 and 19. As an engineer and data enthusiast, I assumed to know everything about those numbers, but the opposite is true.

Lost in data-related job terminology?
Last week, I ran into an article describing 12 different jobs in the data-related world. Far too complex for me. They even managed to refer to a job that was not in their own list...

Flanders District of Creativity (FlandersDC.be) supports, promotes and connects the Flemish creative industries (I cannot claim being part of that sector ... ). I sometimes follow a course organised by them, and … Continue reading Design Thinking versus Excel?
Spending a weekend learning stuff – is it worth it?
Last weekend, I joined the Power BI days. Eight live 1-hour sessions on Saturday and several more on Sunday (via webinars). So not a lot of weekend left. The question that raises is : is it worth spending your weekend on a training, knowing that you probably use max. 10% afterwards in your business. The … Continue reading Spending a weekend learning stuff – is it worth it?
The data science hierarchy of needs (reread)
About 18 months ago, I read for the first time about "the data science hierarchy of needs", as presented by Monica Rogati (with links to Maslows idea +/- 70 years ago). I still use the idea behind it regularly (in a simplified form) in discussions with clients. Last week, I read the original article again, … Continue reading The data science hierarchy of needs (reread)

The start of TMWS - Time (or Money) Well Spent. A blog about things I did, learned, enjoyed, ... in my professional life as a data maniac. No room for negative experiences, but short blogs about things that might be interesting to others as well. Not commercial.
