How to discover all the data sources, low-fuss way

=> ↺ How to discover all the data sources, low-fuss way

Sometimes you need to understand what databases and data sources your company uses. I’d like to show how I do that. I use a small spreadsheet that lists all the data sources, with just half a dozen questions about each data source.
This is mainly a personal tool: it will help you to organize your thoughts if you need to have a discussion with somebody, or with your team.

[Repeat] Feedback: I try to answer "how to become a systems engineer"

=> ↺ [Repeat] Feedback: I try to answer "how to become a systems engineer"

Seriously though, if you look up "systems engineering" on Wikipedia, it talks about "how to design, integrate and manage complex systems over their life cycles". That's definitely not my personal slice of the world. I don't think I've ever taken anything through a whole "life cycle", whatever that even means for software.
In the best case scenario, I suppose some of my software has gotten to where it's "feature complete" and has nothing obviously wrong with it. Then it just sits there and runs, and runs, and runs. Then, some day, I move on to some other gig, and maybe it keeps running. I've never had something go from "run for a long time" to "be shut down" while I was still around.
This is not to say that I haven't had long-lived stuff of mine get shut down. I certainly have. It's just that it's all tended to happen long enough after I left that it wasn't me managing that part of the "life cycle", so I heard about it second- or third-hand and much much later.
