Everyone talks about how “data is the future,” but nobody tells you how messy real-world data actually is. Dirty data, missing values, inconsistent formats—it’s like solving a never-ending puzzle. And don’t get me started on stakeholders who think dashboards magically generate themselves overnight. 😩 Anyone else feel like half the job is just cleaning up the mess before you can even do the actual analysis? Data people, how do you deal with this daily chaos?

YES. I spend more time wrangling spreadsheets than actually analysing anything. Everyone wants shiny dashboards but doesn’t realise it’s built on top of chaos. Honestly, cleaning data feels like 70% of the job.
