Making America Great Means Making Buildings Beautiful

As someone relatively new to leading a large data team, I’m constantly on the lookout for ways to do things better, and recently my interest was piqued when I saw this thread on r/dataengineering: (Most) data teams are dysfunctional, and I (don’t) know why A lot the findings are self evident, however… Utilising the wisdom of the crowds, I have compiled this article primarily to assist my learning but hopefully it can also be helpful to others.

3 Powerful Reasons Why You Should Do Right Things When No One Is Watching
What happens next is that you will begin to develop better self-esteem. Why? Because you will start to look at yourself differently.

Why Acceptance Is the Strategy You Need

Why Change Is Not Scary and Dreadful
If the description above resonates with you, ask yourself if the fear of change has ever stopped you from taking chances in life. Have you wondered what you are missing from not taking the opportunities that take you out of your comfort zone?

I was my own worst enemy in this.
How a Friend's Death Can Shift Your Perception About Life

A melanopsin ganglion cell subtype forms a dorsal retinal mosaic projecting to the supraoptic nucleus - Nature Communications
Abstract Visual input to the hypothalamus from intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) influences several functions including circadian entrainment, body temperature, and sleep. ipRGCs also project to nuclei such as the supraoptic nucleus (SON), which is involved in systemic fluid homeostasis, maternal behavior, social behaviors, and appetite.
