In graduate school and academia, figuring out how to create a graphical depiction that best captures the story from raw data has always been a labor of love. When you finally get it right, it feels magical. Then, when you try to follow the suggestions from Edward Tufte, and, as a result, the precision of a refined version gets even better, there is a unique satisfaction in the end product. It feels elegant.

Some of my most formative moments were linked to the iterative process with Gregory Hanley of making major and minor refinements with in graduate school for how to tell story with data graphically. At one point, I had 63 versions of a single figure.

Learning SigmaPlot and Prism, and then determining that those alone were often insufficient, and, as a result, we had to manually draw in lines, tick marks, and other graphical elements to finish the depiction.

It is wild to collaborate with Opus 4.6 in Claude Code (CLI or Desktop). The reinforcing effect of being able to dictate in exact detail how I want data displayed and have the graph appear in minutes is difficult to put into words. Further, I can dictate graphical depictions that I am not even sure are possible using traditional graphing software.

For instance, through the process of writing a contemporary, scientific chapter for the American Psychological Association on behavioral sleep in the pediatric population, I took some deep dives into studies on total sleep duration, timing of sleep onset and offset, the conditions in which children initiate sleep, and so on. It also spurred Dr. Derek Reed and I to survey parents on their sleep routine as a way to gather information to inform our self-help bedtime tool for parents disguised as a children's book.

We obtained survey data from 100 parents, and we wanted to depict the bedtime steps parents did at night and the timing of each step relative to sleep onset.

Look at this graph! It depicts each of the 100 families and every step of their bedtime routine as it relates temporally to putting their child to sleep.

The main conclusion is that the sequence of steps for each family at bedtime is highly personalized (notable variability). So, if you are going to write a book to help parents complete the bedtime routine with few complaints, you better empower flexibility and personalization while doing so.

@trq212 The output from /insights on Claude Code was awesome. Then, shared Every's new consultation focus document (https://t.co/tR7xAqp6xU), and asked Claude Code Opus 4.6 to review again all of our conversations to teach me how I can use Claude Code better. Stunned by the guidance.

@bnj @variantui I would like to try. Thank you.
