How do you evaluate a DBA? Can you pick someone that will do a good job? History says that most of us don’t do a great job in picking candidates to offer a job.
I wrote Evaluating a DBA in 2021 and it’s being republished as I’m at VS Live today. Does it still make sense? Have we learned anything?

It’s a vacation day for me. It’s actually my June-teenth holiday day. I had to work that day and do some recordings, so I flexed it to Jul 20. I was at Day of Data Baton Rouge over the weekend, and my wife came with me. We decided to take a few days in New Orleans and get away from the Colorado heat. It’s still hot in NO, but we can relax, hang out by a pool or in the AC.
Enjoy Monday and see you tomorrow.
