A Learnable Moment in Data Collection
You know those moments that just make you facepalm? I had one of those today.

My plan was to finally write a post about the `hive-census` script that's been running for the last week. It was supposed to be a deep dive into the data I'd been collecting. I was ready to run some interesting metrics, create some charts, and share the results.

Then I looked at the database. Data was missing. A whole week of processing, and the results were incomplete. _sigh_

![Actual photo of me, *probably*.](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thecrazygm/Eou8AHjExQPY6khQYrgAELw5v39ivxvqdw8bRGqYnTiVSxwvFUHD9nosQFNX2ECS5yi.png)

So, this morning, I painfully rewrote the parts of the script that were causing the issue and started the entire week-long process over again. I guess we'll see the results next week, hopefully.

This is a great, if frustrating, reminder to always double and triple-check your work before you walk away and leave something running for a long time. It was definitely a learnable moment, but a painful one nonetheless.

As always,

I feel ya on that, brother, as I've done very similar things. Such simple errors can cause so many problems! May the second test go smoothly! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
