I went on a coding spree on my new 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro last night. Really felt like a hot knife slicing through butter - especially when I can just run with a train of thought uninterrupted.

Who would've thought that I'd have to use JavaScript in a data scientist role?! 😵‍💫

Programming font ligatures are awesome...except for those rare case where they aren't. (In fact, the original display in VSCode was an even bigger mess.)

🚨I wrote a big piece about how Delta affects the pandemic endgame. Many folks are upset & confused by the last month. Here's an attempt to reset expectations, lay out our goals, map the near-term future, & show how the pandemic ends--which it will. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

There’s a lot of fun colour palettes in here. The Studio Ghibli ones just scream nostalgia!

Thanks @FrontBurnerCBC @jayme_poisson for summarizing how we ended up in crisis by our provincial gov't ignoring warnings and experts – and making some truly mind-boggling decisions. Definitely go listen to this.

Moving to a Python-heavy shop means that I've had to switch my visualization library. I have to admit that Altair's been a pretty smooth ride so far. The only downside: altair_saver doesn't work for me through conda. #python

In a data analysis, your final product should never ever be one gigantic omnibus script. It's a pile of hurt to debug and your colleagues (me) will tear you a new one. Be kind to your colleagues and split it into parts.
