Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

Rozmohl se nám takový nešvar: říkat nesmysly o regulovaném nájemném. A tím nemyslím ono triumfální, ale velmi hloupé tvrzení, že jde o “nejefektivnější techniku ničení měst”. Myslím tím všeobecný odpor vůči tomuto důležitému nástroji dostupného bydlení. Naštěstí jsou stále častěji slyšet jiné hlasy.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

unbribed, there's no occasion to."

On LinkedIn, @daniellealberti.bsky.social just announced that Axios disbanded its data visualization team yesterday. @visuals.axios.com 📊 She is now looking for a new job. A leader in our field.

Danielle Alberti
Managing Editor, Data Visualization

Yesterday I learned that Axios was eliminating the data visualization team I've built and led for nearly seven years. So, for the first time in a long time, I'm looking for what's next.
I'm so proud of the team we built. At our largest, we were 13 designers and developers spread across the country, making dozens of quick-turnaround visuals a day for the National and Local newsrooms while also producing some stunning longform storytelling. I managed the team entirely remotely, and I'm especially proud of the culture we created while rarely being in the same room. People felt safe trying something weird to see if it landed. We genuinely liked working together, respected each other's work and wanted our teammates to succeed. Even as people moved on to other teams over the years, they kept cheering each other on. Creating a team like that is possibly the best thing I've done in my career.
I also really like making things work better. I put a lot of energy into building systems and workflows and automating processes so we could do more without just asking people to work faster. We built tools that were the envy of the industry and gave people across the newsroom the ability to make sophisticated visualizations themselves.
I sometimes joked that I was trying to automate myself out of a job. Whoops.

I've spent most of my career in data visualization, but l've always been a bit of a generalist. I've been a reporter, an editor and a developer, and over the years my job has grown to include everything from engineering and tooling to project management, strategy and people management. The common thread is that I like figuring out how things work, why they aren't working and how to make them better.
So I'm casting a pretty wide net. I'd love to keep working in data visualization, but I'm also very open to jobs outside journalism and roles that don't have "data visualization" in the title.
Mostly, I'm looking for somewhere I can do more of what I'm good at: building great teams, developing talented people and creating systems that help them do great work.
If that sounds like something your team needs, or you know someone I should talk to, please reach out.
Comment, DM, or email me at alberti.danielle@gmail.com.

The dialogue around LLMs is kind of broken both in terms of critique and advocacy. For critique, we need to focus on how we attack fascist tech power consistently — LLMs are only one part of that; merely saying "AI bad" has simply ended up with a lot of people using AI quietly while feeling shame...

One clear development as part of increased popularity of chatbots and always-on surveillance is media attempts to normalize really disturbing behavior under the guise of “people who love data.” www.wsj.com/tech/ai/the-...

A colleague’s joke about workplace stress sparked an idea for India-based software engineer Pankaj Tanwar: use data to determine the co-workers responsible. He used AI to connect his Google Calendar and heart rate data to zero in on a growth product manager at his company—“Claude said this guy is the prime suspect.” Amused by the findings, the “suspect” and other colleagues started to test the systems themselves, sparking a wider office conversation about how data could guide their lives.

A true AI assistant, like the one in the movie “Her,” is the holy grail of the technological race afoot. Some AI health systems are powerful enough to assist humans, but most still lack the critical context needed to unlock more tailored capabilities. Datamaxxers are getting a DIY head start, although some worry about surrendering too much of their privacy.

These data wizards use AI models to build their own tools and dashboards, either as businesses or for personal use. One credits his custom bot with giving him the confidence to join a local run club. Another hooked his family to an AI setup to revamp everyone’s diet.
