Great question from Locally Optimistic Slack:

Should I split my team of data scientists into those who work on forward-looking insights and others who handle day-to-day adhoc requests?

No.

The whole team must do both. Let's talk about why.

@rushworth_a @kevin_ushey This look really good. There is even a function to migrate projects from Packrat to renv. Thanks for sharing.

The Bias-Variance Trade-Off & "DOUBLE DESCENT" 🧵

Remember the bias-variance trade-off? It says that models perform well for an "intermediate level of flexibility". You've seen the picture of the U-shape test error curve.

We try to hit the "sweet spot" of flexibility.

This list (of free data science resources) is pretty pretty good. Kudos to @rushworth_a for putting this together.
