Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Having Claude go through old R projects and cleaning it up so I can make that repo public is a nice use case 010
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Tried GPT5.6 and it is quite underwhelming compared to Opus? 020
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I also don’t know how people ever hit their limit? I probably used it for 80% of my work week and only hit 40% 040
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Was running two parallel agents in Claude code today and it was fire, ngl 031
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Okay, using AI for assistance made me go to the documentation myself. AI is definitely not ready for Julia 020
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Teaching myself Julia and I at this point I feel like this is a gateway programming language 010
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Half my job is telling people no when they discover a new AI tool they want to use at work. 000

Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 22/01/2026My GitHub action ran on the first attempt. Feels pretty good 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Pandas 3.0 is basically trying to make it closer to Polars 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 19/01/2026I underestimated how easily people get confused by basic data. 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Tricked people at work into using a Bayesian approach and they don’t even know it 020
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I just learnt that some companies use notebooks in production 🤯 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 18/11/2025It is probably engagement bait, but it also highlights how little they know or are able to think. 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Something says someone is a clown like “it’s all over for ___” when talking about a new AI release. 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Most of that is engagement bait, so I don’t respond to the actual posts on other sites. 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 09/11/2025When someone says AI turns them into a 10X engineer, does that mean they can do the work of 10 engineers? 000

Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 01/11/2025However, it also helps my imposter syndrome, so it’s worth it 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Going on LinkedIn tests my patience so often. Constantly see dumb posts, but I will not give them engagement. It’s what they want 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Work is so easy that I started writing a blog post about splines just to mentally stimulate myself 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 26/10/2025I am the only one that codes at work so sometimes I like to create a PR so it feels like I am working with someone else 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Using dots in variable names should be illegal. Double illegal in OOP 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 25/08/2025There is a place for pretty visualisations, but that’s not for most end users who will just look at the table for reporting purposes 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Can’t believe I became that guy, but I’ve started asking “does that provide business value?” When people ask me to make trivial changes to a visualisation. People don’t care about the font of a table, they just care it’s accurate and understandable 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Pandas was the primary reason I disliked python so much. My lord it was such a pest to use for anything that was somewhat complicated 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 21/08/2025I also underestimated how much code I wrote for that project. I should of just made it a package 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 21/08/2025I’m making my code public since my paper is getting published and it’s taking so much self control to not refactor the pandas code to polars 000

Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Using AI for most tasks feels like using low code solutions. It may be quicker for simple stuff, but eventually any decent customisation is going to be a headache. 000
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 21/04/2025I cringe whenever I see guides on pandas. It’s 2025, move on 000

Reposted by Justyn RodriguesSam Halpert @samhalpert.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you. 103105053371
Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 18/04/2025I find it interesting that people pay upwards of $200 a month to use LLM 000

Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Once I was working with a dataset that was 800,000 x 360 and accidentally ran a PCA on every row. Once the code was finished it was terrifying to see the size of the variable. 000

Justyn Rodrigues @becausejustyn.bsky.social · 06/03/2025R feels more fun to code in than python, but Python still is better than most options out there. I don’t care about garbage collection. I just want to solve a problem. 000
