This month I closed issues and merged PR in various rOpenSci repositories; some were 2+ years old. I also created PRs that will close other old issues. And I was able to do all of this during my paid work hours thanks to the Sovereign Tech Fellowship @sovereign.tech It feels so good 🤩

As I wrote for @fastcompany.com , women are sounding an alarm about AI. But they are not rooted in a fear of change but in the unequal risks of AI: From bias to privacy to environmental costs to job exposure to competence penalties to emotional labor. www.fastcompany.com/91584377/wom...

I'm an R person who just shipped two cross-platform desktop apps in Rust + Tauri + React — a stack I'd never written before. One built straight in code with Claude, one designed first as a clickable artifact. Story: l.drmowinckels.io/sNeRrN

A modern minimalist desk setup in warm, natural light. On a light wooden surface, a stylized cairn of stacked stones glows with digital, circuit-board patterns. Next to it, an open silver laptop displays a dark-mode productivity dashboard with charts and UI elements labeled "Cairn." A blurred succulent sits in the background.
