I am an accidental gardener. If anything I plant grows to maturity, and by some fluke of nature becomes edible, it is sheer accident.

Earlier this year, Brent Ozar completed his 2018 Data Professionals Salary Survey and published the results: I played with the results last year in my 2017 post titled, "When Does It Pay for a DBA to Have an Associate Degree?" — which was a fun post to write.
