Tech Tales and Fails

Welcome to Tech Tales and Fails — the show where data disasters, tech blunders, and good old-fashioned oops moments take center stage!

Each episode, we sit down with folks from the data and tech world to hear about the times things didn’t quite go as planned.

From accidental table drops to queries that brought down entire systems, we’re diving into the mistakes that made us sweat—but also taught us something valuable along the way.Because let’s be real—everyone messes up. The important thing is what we learn from it.

So, grab a coffee, take a deep breath, and listen to us talk about tech tales and fails with the most inspiring experts to ever show up on the whole internet.

Rob (He/Him)

Rob was a SQL Server DBA with a passion for PowerShell, Azure, Automation, and SQL (PaaS geddit?). Now he just helps people make things. He is a Data Platform MVP and an Azure MVP, a PowerShell Conference Europe organiser, and maintainer of many open-source projects. He has spoken at and volunteered at many Data and PowerShell events all over the world. He is a proud supporter of the Data and PowerShell communities.

He relishes sharing and learning and can be found doing both via Twitter and his blog. He spends most of his time looking at a screen and loves to solve problems. He knows that looking at a screen so much is bad for him because his wife tells him so. Thus, he is often out riding his bike as his eyes are not good enough to play cricket any more.

He has a fabulous beard
