Unless you've been on a failed ETL project you won't get it either.

I'd rather clean toilets than work on ETL, and i've done both. When you were a teenager and you bought the "go to Uni and be successful" dream, I bet you didn't think you would end up doing something as dull as ETL.
Yes, where there is muck, there is brass but what is the IT equivalent of holding your nose as you wash the skids out of the toilet pan?Comment

I do a lot of ETL, it's not rocket science but it's surprising how many people want to go the long way round....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

This decision appears to based on the fact that it's cheaper and easier to slip me £30k than deal with the buraucracy involved in establishing a connection between two systems that really ought to be connected.

Apparently the bob in question only wanted the E and T sections to work to save time
It just a shame that the client didn't catch this in the code and executed it on live then spent 5 days waiting for the load to actually load...Comment
