Me with React + #typescript. Step 1: Make it work. Step 2: Fight with all the red squiggly lines. Step 3: Rename file to .jsx.

Learning #nextjs after using Vite, I forgot how slow webpack is. Vite is, well, fast! I am also suspicious of server components and SSR in general due to painful memories of Gatsby. I do like fetching on the server tho.

What are your favorite public-use datasets for teaching #rstats? I’m looking for clean-ish and substantively interesting data to teach basic stats and data analysis. Recommendations?

My 4-year old take on GraphQL and I still stand by it: "an extremely overengineered solution to the non-problem of attaching metadata to text files."

Hmmm, ever since installing Bluesky, the battery on my phone is draining quickly. I think it’s just me tho.

Hello Bluesky! I am a data scientist and I'm likely older than most of you. But that doesn't mean I've figured it all out. I have habits and opinions and I'm sure a lot of them are wrong. So I'm here to learn, to share ideas, and to keep myself relevant in a field that I genuinely enjoy.
