No other company wastes nearly as much money on AWS routinely than Capital One. Entire Kubernetes clusters for microservices that do essentially nothing.

Weird. In my circles, and the circles of people who are in the market for such a product, snowflake indicates a particular design pattern for designing data warehouses.
You’re both right. Snowflake as a technical slang/jargon generally refers to “flaky” or light-weight solutions that aren’t expected to withstand the test of time/scale. Snowflake, the data warehousing platform, on the other hand is a juggernaut - in a league of it’s own (I suppose comparable to BigQuery and RedShift).
To be fair, neither of us even could be wrong, we both expressed things as they are within each of our contexts, and personal opinions. :)

#63This makes me want to get rid of my Capital One card. I knew they'd wasted millions on a giant engineering department that does jack for their business (worked with many of their ex-engs), and this is proof that they never had anything useful to do. CTO must be trying to save his bonus by making up a new irrelevant business to justify their unnecessarily large engineering org and lack of purpose.
It's either that or more TV commercials
