As a PhD student, I kinda have abandoned Stata which I have used for around 10 years for applied micro type of research…in an age of AI

[Yiqing Xu @xuyiqing]

I will stop maintaining my Stata packages and focus on developing R and Python packages (w/ AI, ofc) in my spare time.

Apologies 🙏. I feel there's no other way. Also, providing free labor to a company that charges for using multiple cores on my computer does not feel right.
