You don’t need to be “enterprise-ready” or “scalable”

My gf works in UX for a major bank and they simply issued her a bank account in her name (with her SSN etc -- it's a real account, with ATM and debit cards and the like). If she and some co workers want to test something out relating to accounts they actually use these accounts to minimize this kind of problem.

They must have some special code that says that these accounts can have their fees zeroed and probably are subject to some special out of band audits. I don't really know the details of course but I was actually kind of impressed.

(no she is not actually a customer of her employer)

Previously led data teams in banks and you’re right. There are dozens of flags for test accounts. When auditing, we screen out these accounts. Of course, with a proper data cleaning process, analytics gets a lot easier

That reminds me of "Mostly Harmless" from Douglas Adams where Ford Prefect breaks into The Guide's offices and gets himself an infinite expense account from the computer system. That's a dangerous thing to have.

Problem is, anyone with a good story to tell should really keep their mouth shut.
