Good post by DataFlux blogger Mike Ferguson:
What staggers me in this day and age is the number of companies I am encountering that do not have a data modeling tool. In my opinion to not have such a product is a serious oversight. In these companies it seems that it is often up to development teams to do the data modeling for a specific system ˜ be it operational or analytical. Yet when I speak to developers in these teams, many of them have never had any training in data modeling and almost all of them are not really focussed on that activity but instead have a primary skill in object oriented application development.
What is actually staggering is that the core intellectual asset of a company is encapsulated in its data models.

I have to admit that Fake Steve Jobs is a guilty (actually I don't feel at all guilty about it) pleasure. Real Dan Lyons, its author, is consistently funny, hilarious sometimes, and skewers industry personalities perfectly.
But now ... what has happened? "Steve" isn't even listed on the page as an author; all of "Steve's" posts are now "Real Dan's". I hope that this isn't some weird result of Dan Lyons moving from Forbes to Newsweek, or some misguided legal action.
Come back FSJ!
