if your Big Data person does NOT know what this picture means, get rid of them
ALT the famous "survivorship bias" diagram of an idealized PV-1 bomber viewed from the top with red dots around the tail, center fuselage, wing roots behind the engines, and outer edge wing tips. The US military wanted to use data from returning damaged bombers, the red dots signified damage they recorded, to determine what parts of the plane to uparmor. Statistician Abraham Wald realized that they were ONLY able to analyze the planes that RETURNED. Therefore the damage they were recording was ONLY that which could be sustained and allow the crew to safely return. The planes that had sustained fatal damage, the ones that really needed armor, didn't make it back to be recorded by the statisticians

So excited about what @github Codespaces makes possible, especially for teaching. A real terminal, and real vscode, in the browser, for free, with plenty of storage, RAM, and CPU. And the storage is persistent.
Here's a pic of `tmux` running inside vscode

Useful theorem: If A is a finite alphabet and B is the set of all (finite) words that can be written using this alphabet, then B is countable.
• We can write any rational number as a finite word using the following finite alphabet {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,/,-}. Therefore the [1/7]

In many different fields, outsiders overestimate the value of ideas and underestimate the difficulties of execution.
So it's probably a good strategy for learning about any new field to ask "why is execution harder than it seems to outsiders?"
