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 🫠

Large tram car and bus setup, super easy to get pretty much anywhere. But everyone always complains about the bare-minimum subway system

In light of pricing changes to platforms like dbt Cloud we figure more control over cloud costs is a must 👇
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.
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

my dad is a dentist, when I was little and we played rough he would sometimes say something similar like "hey hey not the hands, c'mon"
to a kid that's just telling me how to win lol

Yes, with the additional criteria that those jobs have somewhat high demand and so people are still willing to put themselves through that
@matt_levine
This looks AI generated. Like if you had a solid Midjourney prompt describing you and Money Stuff this is what comes out the other side lol
the onlyfans girls seem to have a better handle on random data takes than most of you
whenever i post a stellar data take, they're the first (and sometimes the only ones) to like it
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.

I can't believe we've been psyoped into using a package called psycopg2. PSYCHO. PG. 2.
Not the first psycho. The SECOND psycho.
We've been taken for absolute fools
It's Friday, the fam is going out shopping and sightseeing. I sip my coffee, open dbeaver + rstudio + stripe dashboard + slack. Time to find out exactly how to calculate our customer count with stripe data

Based. My experiences have been pretty nice too, once emailed a paper author related to a problem I had and she was like "oh yes here's how you apply x to your thing"
@ryxcommar
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
Fuck it we ball
Did you know you can call the Snowflake python connector from R so you can run SQL from your R scripts?
Might just make this into a nice little R library for myself
