@jonathansen I cannot imagine my mental state while trying to execute such a move.

@johnshiles I’ve experienced something like this - hired one person, but another person showed up for work and was the lesser programmer. It was a remote hire and I think they hoped I wouldn’t notice they looked different.

This is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. askamanager.org/2022/01/the-ne…

@jeremyphoward This person did the same for Germany. School has reopened in many parts. Our lived experience right now and it’s compulsory. twitter.com/herrluehmann/s…

Oops the graph in the first tweet has some double-counting in December. Here's the corrected version:

I've been analyzing the UK covid data and I've just discovered something shocking. Cases in chidrens in England have just smashed all-time highs. Nearly double what they've ever been before. And rising VERY rapidly. Schools are about to reopen. With far fewer restrictions.

@fulhack I prefer py files, but for one-offs or heavy exploration, the notebook is often faster and nicer to share an insight. Even then I still like to put a lot of my code in a py file to make the end notebook easier to read. Editing those py files in a notebook editor is not so nice.

Python data science Twitter, how do you write code?

PyMCon 2020 videos are live! There's an intro video to get you oriented but of course feel free to jump straight into the Talks, Tutorials, and Let's Build a Model as well! youtu.be/LTLfeNyioR8 discourse.pymc.io/c/pymcon/2020t…

Survival analysis is really valuable for data scientists, example n+1, this time about churn in SaaS businesses: catchjs.com/Blog/Churn

@mani_shah The people who put the beta version on their phone are _____ ?

@RMBanfield I agree and I wouldn’t try. Agree on an outcome and a success metric. If the team successfully improves that metric and improves upon their prior selves, great. If you think they can do more ask for more metric improvement.

My hypothesis is that there is no high-fidelity way to benchmark or compare product team performance. If you're a leader of a product team, how do you assess your team's performance against other teams whether they might be in your org or in another organization?

@jonathansen Sr. Advisor Grimace to you... youtu.be/W4QNXnNftWk

Grimace, the McDonaldland character, didn't make a lot of sense.

@mani_shah @jonathansen I’ve forgotten that dogs in a public spaces like restaurants and transit are not always allowed. Where I am currently living it is common and it works, or at least I have never seen or heard of an issue.

@mani_shah I feel the same way about owning one. I sold my car 8 years ago and I honestly don’t miss it.

6 talents a successful data science team needs: project management, data wrangling, data analysis, subject expertise, design, and storytelling. s.hbr.org/2CY1dCL

@jonathansen WiX was so preoccupied with if they could, they didn’t stop to ask if they should. #CSneedsethics

@johnshiles Sure, but here are the eighteen greatest words one can hear: twitter.com/LucasJVE/statu…

“Homemade palak paneer” are the three greatest words one can hear.

An abundance of high quality and cheap digital entertainment = a lot less young men working. Excellent piece by Andrew Cortina. kortina.nyc/essays/kinky-l…

Yes, 1000x yes!
