I’m going with a border collie because I spend a lot of time with Automations, so I’m herding and pushing things on a schedule!

One of my dogs is a German Shepherd Border Collie mix, so Structured Spatial data. And my other dog is more of a mutt (lab, retriever, pittbull, and more), dirty data would certainly fit her personality. They are two very different dogs (though similar size) but both fun in their own ways.

Let’s match a husky to big data because they’re loud, run all over the place, and are often hard to manage! Like huskies, I can be very vocal, and it’s usually about data.

Here’s FME the Wonder Dog saving a user from bad data! I think the user should be more worried about the number of arms he has!

25 years in the geospatial industry so I guess I match with a Border Collie.

I have a cocker spaniel who sleeps a lot. So maybe archival data.

What would the dog equivalent of ‘Horses for courses’ or not just a ‘One trick Pony’…

Don’t fit into any of the ‘Pure Breads’… definitely a Mutt… as in ‘any dog that's a combination of different breeds, rather than one identifiable breed

I’m more a cat person than a dog person, so I asked ChatGPT what it thinks:


A Cat would be an object-oriented, non-deterministic class with random behavior and built-in exceptions.

Class / Object: A cat has properties (color, age, name, attitude) and methods (sleep, eat, ignore, knockOver), so it naturally fits as an object instantiated from a Cat class.

Non-deterministic type: Cats return different results for the same input (call(cat) might return come, ignore, or scratch).

Nullable: Sometimes they just disappear for hours and effectively become null.

Concurrent / Multi-threaded: Cats can be sleeping and hunting dust motes in their dreams at the same time.

Error-prone: Accessing cat.belly often throws ScratchException.

 

 

I would think cat data would be very unstructured, does what it likes, whenever it chooses

I'd say my data type i semi-structured, semi-relational, user produced data. So probably som sort of a cross breed like a Labradoodle. 

Comes in wildly variable sizes and coat types. Needs consistent grooming or it grows wild. Has the traits of a stable old breed but with the added flavour of a mix. That sweet spot between structured enough to be manageable and predictable, but hybridized enough to offer variety and flexibility.

I think that an assistance dog is the best help when you really need it (and luckily for me: I don't).

It’s the Border Collie Spatial Data for me. That’s what I need to make my maps.

Lapradors - especially puppeys - are very object oriented, who doesnt like to play with a data-ball?

Chihuahua = Point geometry
Tiny, focused, precise, and surprisingly impactful.
