“Can you make this?” Our manager slides over a screenshot from Tron/Oblivion/Any Sci-fi movie with a sticky note that says “our data here” and pitches us an idea.
We are stuck between a cool idea and tons of unknowns. We know that the availability, accuracy, and nature of our data will directly affect the quality and outcome of our project. So how do we begin developing? We fake it while we make it.
This is what the talk is about: the importance of developing with fake data, the types of data we can fake, and some useful strategies for getting up and running with fake data.

20. In the year 2000, Douglas Caldwell was
successfully petitioned by his teenage
son to see the film X-Men. Douglas
wasn’t really a fan of sci-fi, but wanted
to spend time with his son, so he
agreed to go. Watching the film, he was
amazed to see a solution to a 2,000-
year-old problem that he dealt with
every day.
As Cyclops describes the mission they
are about to undertake, the map
changes shape, as if it was made of
hundreds of tiny pins, each rising and
falling to form the topography needed
(Figure 1.5).
Douglas was that he worked for the US
Army Topographic Engineering Center.
Part of his job was to create 3D maps
and ship them to generals in the field,
so they could study the theater of battle
and consider tactics. These maps are
called “sand tables” because they were
originally created by generals
thousands of years ago using actual
trays of sand. Military leaders still do
the same thing when they don’t have a
better map on hand

are radically better

mostly the same, although the API
