Raw Data with Rob Collie22 Heinä 2024

CrowdStrike as the Exception which Proves the Rule

Today we are coming at you a day early for a timely bonus episode with Rob Collie diving deep into the digital disruption that shook the world: The Great CrowdStrike Hiccup of 2024. Picture this: a day when the antivirus behemoth stumbled, and the digital realm felt the shockwaves, akin to a #VALUE! error in your perfectly tuned DAX formula—but on a colossal, global scale.

Before you start placing the blame on IT, let's take a step back to see the broader view. This incident with CrowdStrike, while jarring, underscores the exceptional resilience typically woven into our digital fabric. Consider it the outlier in your data set that highlights how well everything else aligns. Every day, countless professionals from coders to IT support keep our digital infrastructure running as smoothly as a finely tuned Power Query.

The key lesson from this event? Our digital networks are sturdier than they appear, much like a robust pivot table equipped with slicers. Despite the hiccup, the swift response from tech teams worldwide to rectify the issue was nothing short of remarkable. It's a nod to the everyday heroes in tech who ensure that our systems run without a hitch. So, the next time you see that meme mocking "the other side," remember, we're all part of the same intricate data model of life.

And, don't worry, we are still on track for a full-length release tomorrow. Be sure to tune in then when we welcome special guest Madison Brooks to share some behind-the-scenes insight on Power BI, Power Apps, and the manufacturing industry!
