My pet theory rn is the hiring market is insanely adversarial with all the AI-generated slop going around, mostly on the applicant side. HR is just overwhelmed. And that's on top of the post-covid slowdown and layoffs

You can def deploy R in prod, it's just that academics and data scientists don't know how to do that.
I have a service building a user graph that's half python and half R nbd

on my last hiring round (as the hiring manager) i noticed an INSANE amount of spam applications. the job market is certainly tougher now but also i think candidates are using tools to automate applications and it's overwhelming current screening systems/people

i have a whole ass server running nba predictions and crunching stats for sportsbetting and you know how i interact with it every day? a google sheet on my phone
This is actually not dumb! One of the first things I learned year 1 on the job was that executives are often busy and consume content very differently from the rest of us at work, usually via email on the phone. (BlackBerry at the time 🫠

Everyone who asks me about bootcamps I always say don't do it. There are free resources out there to learn the skills and as an interviewer I have never seen a bump in interview performance from a bc grad attributable to the course
many people here shooting the messenger. your odds of 12 week bootcamping your way into a 6-figure job are incredibly slim. these bootcamps prey on people who want to "one weird trick" fast-track their way into a lucrative job and that's just not typically happening.

It should take a week max to get most projects off dbt cloud and into an AWS EC2 instance. Lmk if you want to talk about that

Migrated my corporate project to GH Actions this week and our projected monthly costs are 84% lower than dbt Cloud 🙃
For my project this implementation is estimated to reduce costs by >90% vs dbt Cloud's recent pricing change, which they rolled back, and by ~50% vs our current costs

Yes, with the additional criteria that those jobs have somewhat high demand and so people are still willing to put themselves through that

I look around at my own immediate and extended family and simply don't believe this. Smart people have smart kids
In case you wondered if a couple who have an IQ of 125 have kids, the IQ of the next generation will be normally distributed around an average of 115 due to regression to the mean (per 125-(125-100)*0.4=115 for a trait which is 60% heritable).
Meaning a couple with an IQ of

DSPs used to (maybe still do?) partner with researchers internally or externally to categorize ads and responses. Iirc this was in early-ish day adtech, only way for those guys to get the data was by partnering with the distributors

V2 of our Simple DBT Runner repo is complete!

highlighted a security vulnerability for our documentation on S3, as well as a solution.
We've shifted to using GitHub Pages for dbt docs, which can go behind SSO for Enterprise accounts.

My other theory right now is the job market will evolve by necessity to hiring managers and HR going out to find candidates proactively. Recruiters might also be helped by/useful for this
