My two least favorite data rabbit holes to go down are:

Stories of data gone wrong are the best stories and also the ones we so rarely get a space to share.

I'm very excited to be kicking off the next #DataMishapsNight with a few stories of horrendous mistakes, overlooked edge cases, and algorithms gone amok. Join us! https://t.co/OoXT6L7aSu
