So your data always comes in with the same format? Thats right Dave. And to store it you break it up into multiple chunks and write it into a dozen different tables. That’s right Dave. Then you always just need to read the original format back right? Causing you to join a

What full stack company could you build only staffed with 65IQ people who have severe short term memory loss? Also it can’t involve the physical world so all the classics like sweat shops and coal mines are off the table.
