Don't Overlook Workflow (as a Small Data Team)
Jan 07, 2026If you're on a small data team or you're the only engineer at the whole company...
It's easy to feel like you can just look past certain things.
To believe some tasks are just more work than it's worth because of how small the team is.
(You're the only one who sees it anyway!)
But one spot I find this happens quite a bit in the area of Version Control.
And in particular, the git workflow of development.
In my opinion, overlooking this is actually a critical error.
I'd argue it's something that should be taken seriously whether you are a 1-person data team or a 100 person data team.
So in this video I want to talk through some of the common pitfalls I see small teams making as it relates to Version Control and the git workflow.
Along with some reasons why you might want to consider taking it more seriously, if you haven't already.
