Scraping open video game players' data has been such a ride.
So much fun presenting with friends from Unity at PyData Copenhagen last night.

Around Copenhagen and curious about data analysis and/or #RStats? The CopenhagenR meetup is closing the spring season, on the 12th of June, with a ✨ super-interesting✨ presentation by @cantabile : Animating a melody as a mathematical object. 🎶 😊

Statistics, data science and machine learning walk into a bar. Bartender: table for one, I assume?
I've encountered some really varied expectations of a career in data science. Academics make the distinction between academia and industry, but, in my experience, there really hasn't been any difference in terms of work needed. Robust pipes, some models, mostly EDA in vis.

Spending the day migrating our game events data. So satisfying to patch in a different data set at staging, and watch all the pipes run 😍

The sweet spot of the Simpsons, maybe series 2 to series 9, is the greatest achievement in the history of mankind.
I have heated floors throughout my apartment; I have never known such luxury. Never been colder outside, just had a week of -6, but never been so warm at home. It's the little things 🥰

We're looking for #dyspraxic adolescents in Devon to help us validate a newly-developed #VR screening tool. Participants get a MABC-2 screening, compensation for their time (£30), and the chance to play some cool newly-developed VR games. Sign up here! shorturl.at/amnSX
😯 there's a fivetran connector for Google drive. Amazing, we have sheets we share with stakeholders for labelling and now we can stage them at the utmost up of the upstream of our DBT pipes 😍

"Seeing math in code is like hearing the song" 😍
I understand this frustration, but I have a slightly different take.
Some people can read music and hear it as they read. Other people need to hear it played first before they can play it themselves. Seeing math in code is like hearing the song.

So, what would a meaningful effect be?
Stats school: your stakeholders will advise
Stakeholders: what's realistic under different conditions? We will adjust our expectations accordingly.
🤔 Exploratory data analysis is such a necessary first step so much of the time.
Math is such a ride. Today I shipped an analysis of a new design feature to the producer of the game (new feature works). Never dreamt I'd get to do things like this.

For those of you who are still here, check out this open-source command line tool for reproducible cloud-based data engineering pipelines.
2 weeks in, and I'm evangelical.
Many "They should have sent a poet" moments as I find new functionalities.
