Anyone other #rstats people find @drob's #TidyTuesday screencasts useful?

I made a spreadsheet with timestamps for hundreds of specific tasks he does: https://t.co/HvJbLk1chd

Useful if, like me, you keep going back and ask, "Where in the video did he do [this thing] again?"

@CedScherer Congratulations, Cédric! 🍾

@dgkeyes @moriah_taylor58 @OscarBaruffa Ooooops I gave the same answer after yours, David

Why'd you reply to a reply lol 😅

Any researchers or analysts out there with a recommendation on an introductory course on project management? Ideally something that takes 8 hours or less to get through. Not sure if some #RStats people may be of help here.

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@moriah_taylor58 @OscarBaruffa wrote something on project management specifically headed to data analysts.

It's not a course, but it might be a useful resource: https://t.co/pOd04Wk11n

Due to a last minute cancellation I have one 15 min speaking slot to fill this Thursday afternoon (EST) at the Toronto Conference on Reproducibility. Pls email me if you've got something cool re reproducibility that you'd like to share.

Does anyone have a workflow they like for working with #rstats and snowflake? Is it just ODBC/DBI?

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@code_star @teej_m This one is a blast! @willkurt is amazing at making things approachable. His blog is great too

@RohanAlexander We got it just for Bluey. Worth it tbh

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@jacasiegel @rfortherest @dgkeyes One of the standout things about R, especially when learning, is how great and supportive the community is!

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@emilieschario yes plz 😁

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@Bookish_Rachael Lots of full episodes of Jeeves and Wooster are available on YouTube. Not an ideal solution, but better than nothing!

@Alanna_Cavanagh The data is from an online quiz about fictional character personalities: https://t.co/LJENribhua

And the graph is part of a blog post I wrote about the data: https://t.co/8dCM6snNwF

The full Pride & Prejudice graph is in there! And some other fun graphs if you're curious 🙃

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@JonTheGeek @robinson_es and @skyetetra have a segment on this in their Build a Career in Data Science podcast. I think it's the Data Science Subfields episode.

I don't remember the figures 😬. But I do remember they gave specific numbers.

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@RohanAlexander Omg the dream

[Alex Cookson @alexcookson]

@Amit_Levinson It looks *really* good, Amit!

[Amit Grinson @Amit_Levinson]

I recently changed my last name which called for a new domain, so took the opportunity and changed my Hugo theme from Academic to the fabulous Appero. I'd do the I-wrote-a-post-about-the-process but I'm lazy, so here are a few tweets instead >>
