big data is funny because instead of using some intelligence to figure out what tiny fraction of your metrics are most important to your business just capture everything and Big Data will tell you a bunch of dumb correlations that will confuse your senior leadership for years!

look if we don't record every mouse motion and mis-click cross-referenced against every revision of every page, how will we understand user behavior?

sitting down next to and just watching a user do their thing on a piece of software you've built or helped build is a great way to end up realizing that we only ever made it out of the swamp and onto dry land by luck.

we did a firedrill yesterday in a production support environment by getting the DC to hard shutdown a websphere messaging gateway and it is supposed to be redundant but it turns out the standby node won't switch to active unless the master shuts down gracefully

a/b testing only requires you to measure core metrics, not a gigabyte of data reflecting the pointer position

a/b testing requires you to know what the hell you want to know in the first place, takes place over a defined period of time, and is simple enough that it's usually pretty clear which thing works better

big data is appealing to execs with no particular plans for the data, so they can collect loving everything forever and stash the data away until some manager wants to cherrypick a few data points that support their newest pet project, or until the company decides to hire a consultant or computer program to (pretend to) analyze all the data and make all sorts of pronouncements about what the company should do
