One day I made a big change. I could not keep ignoring dirty dirty data, that dirty muck our best ML models were eating up. I had faith and made the radical decision to give up coding altogether and become a serious data cleaner. I am talking full-on hazmat suit, decontamination chamber serious.

I've developed some extreme methods that may sound crazy, but they work. I send trained carrier pigeons to the cloud data center to verify hashes. When the data centers go down I also have reliable analog channels like smoke signals.

it's time for us hackers to unite and verify data integrity using extreme measures. Sending birds to the cloud center? Smoke signals? Those are just simple child's play. You need to be willing to go above and beyond to ensure that your data is properly verified and validated.

Maybe that means driving cross-country to physically inspect the data center. Maybe that means hiring a team of temp workers from to manually make sure that your data hasn't been compromised. Whatever it takes.

If you really want to achieve true data cleanliness like me, you need to get intimate with your hardware. No, I don't mean holding hands with your computer (although that might help too).

I mean taking your SSD and motherboard home. it's the only way to truly connect with your hardware at high speeds and ensure that your data is clean and organized. the electric charge from my body helps to cleanse the data of any impurities.

So if you're struggling with dirty data, don't give up hope. They don’t call it a motherboard for no reason.
