i've been writing code for 15 years and this is 100% an accurate portrayal of getting CI to pass

always fun to listen to Phillip Cloud's ASMR podcasting voice

Saul Pwanson and I will be live on 2022-08-29 talking about how to make big databases feel tiny using the killer combo of VisiData and Ibis Project. Check it out! youtu.be/RSDkLGjj3-E

this took guts

someone told me today that they pulled out mandate levels during an interview, and asked their interviewer to describe what to expect

Interviewer was 'noticeably annoyed, and couldn't coherently describe how they worked. Disaster averted'

✨For many projects hosted on GitHub it's very hard to scale issue review and consistently respond to feedback.
💾There are 'saved replies', but they are stored per user.
⬆️Please upvote github.com/github/feedbac… to improve this for projects with more than one maintainer.😍

Many teams require 'code review' without putting any effort into establishing a common understanding of that that means.

It's worth taking time as a team to establish a common understand of 'code review'.

Here are some principles I recommend to my teams:

The only winning move is not to play

Do you want to help make Apache Arrow (+ other data tools) better? Are you someone who thrives on communicating + explaining with data (+ its uncertainty)? Voltron Data is looking for data scientists to do just that:

Come join us! Lots of fun projects in the works this year

Bacon. The word you’re looking for is bacon.

On the sixth day of ApacheArrow 🏹 its contributors gave to me: the #rstats capability to create a (virtual) table in @DuckDB arrow.apache.org/docs/r/referen… #twelvedaysofarrow #opensource #thankyoucommunity 🙌 🙏

On the fourth day of ApacheArrow 🏹 its contributors gave to me: not one but *all* of #rstats {dplyr} join capabilities arrow.apache.org/blog/2021/11/0… #twelvedaysofarrow #opensource #thankyoucommunity 🙌 🙏

Come join me Ian Cook and Keith Kraus on the product team at Voltron Data!

I was talking to an acquaintance about focus and how I periodically turn off Slack to stay in the zone. They said they can't do that because their manager tracks Slack activity as a metric of being around (all remote).

Managers, don't do this, it's toxic and you're being lazy.

Excited to wrap up my first week as an R Developer at Voltron Data! I'll be working on anything/everything ApacheArrow + #rstats and I'm so lucky to have joined a talented and kind team of developers. Looking forward to many more!

Maybe it’ll be enough to make it sustainable long-term.
