I'd like to understand why, this doesn't sound obvious to me? Unhealthy overweight people, I can picture it, but otherwise? An athlete at 240 lbs might not see any benefit whatsoever for instance. In other cases I can also picture

Absolutely. I wasn't taking a jab at your comment, just adding my experience. Thanks for sharing your point of view!

I'd like to add that while you are right for engineering, for certain analytics roles communication would be the decisive factor I'd consider (granted of course the candidate knows how to use SQL and got decent scripting skills).

I just started on the same medication after seeing a psychiatrist. We are experimenting on dosage. However it's frustrating, first month on 18 mg was almost better than the 27 mg I take right now, even though 18 mg in the end did nothi

Good to note it's not impossible to be in a calorie deficit and not lose weight. Lipedema for instance makes it impossible to lose fat on the legs and arms. Hard to get a diagnostic for it too. Other than that your comment is right, yo

yes. I had to heal my gut and kimchi and sauerkraut plus the occasional Kefir are great. I also take from time to time zinc L-carnosine and L-glutamine, great for the gut as well. It's also a good idea to get tested for H Pilory.

On the other hand, we have seen how perverse incentive amongst experts work too. Academia is rife with fraud (e.g. publishing 500 paper a year), because certain incentives make it possible. I agree expert are important and should be judged

I feel like the title is a bit clickbaity. This post is more of a rant against poor management than actual data work per se. That being said it's true that unlike other roles such as developers, artists, copywriters, etc. that still ca

FWIW I've found a lot of value in learning Typescript this year and interacting with the AWS CDK to build infrastructure as code. Upskilling my AWS knowledge also massively paid off, especially networking which I never truly understood

In Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker there is a fascinating chapter about how teenagers are biologically programmed to sleep later and wake up later as well. He then explains that basically sending teenagers to school early in the morning is t

For data cleaning I swear by dbt ( https://www.getdbt.com/ ). It's such a powerful tool that you can put in the hand of anyone with SQL knowledge. It allows us to develop clean pipelines, document, and test our data easi

I think you nailed it. Often companies and exec want ML but don't have the basics: robust ETL pipeline, clean data, solid analytics foundation (dashboards, automated reporting, etc.). These appear boring to most but they will be the di
