I just posted a new preprint and here it is in memes (sorry)
Meme showing Jason Momoa sneaking up behind Henry Cavill on the red carpet. Text reads: An individualistic model of developer productivity, and Hicks & Hevesi 2024, implying that Hicks & Hevesi 2024 will launch a surprise attack on an individual model of developer productivity

Seeking examples of DevRel job postings that focus less on one way marketing to audiences, and lean more toward improving the developer experience. Seen any that speak to you lately? Hook me up 🪝 #dataBS

Everyone should rise up and just write as many "how to draw a part of the fucking owl" articles as we can!
The draw the owl meme.
How to draw an owl
Step 1. Draw some circles (two circles are shown)
Step 2. Draw the rest of the fucking owl (a fully detailed owl with shading and detailed feathers is shown)

This is early days to show... @manzt.sh and I made a Jupyter sidecar for use with `jupyter console` and @zed.dev. Run `cargo install sidecar` to get access.

Question for #databs folks: I am searching for a recent write up of how data careers/titles are evolving. Has anyone written or read something that resonated on this lately? I’m hoping for a boots on the ground point-of-view of basically “where have all the data scientists gone” 🤠

Hey folks 👋 So many new faces I want to meet! Please introduce yourself here - I want to meet folks who do not just reflect and write about it, but actually go build or ship or code or teach or add something new to the world based on their reflections. Links help so I can boost your signal ☕️

FYI, I don't know of a tool to search lists outside of just searching for the word "starter pack" but one way to find out what packs/list you're on and maybe bringing you followers is to go to clearsky.app and search your account
