Great clarification. You're right, reduce was a typo. I definitely like how method call notations can be read left-to-right rather than inside out. Now I'm curious why python developers decided not to add these 'transformatio

Good points, I'd appreciate if you could elaborate since it seems you've thought a lot about this. > Docker can help only if there is a single step in your project. In ML projects you usually have many steps - Preprocess, Train

Thanks! That looks equivalent to python without comprehensions. As far as I can tell the difference in the expressiveness of `map/filter/reduce` is mainly about whether you like or don't like comprehensions. Do you have any e

This is definitely needed and DVC has a few cool ideas. I think the most useful feature missing from existing tools is integrating data versioning with git, and simple commands to tag, push, and pull data files. I'm not sure I buy the

I think one reason people like comprehensions in python is because they provide an intuitive syntax for both map and select/filter. As I understand it, reduce still provides functionality that you can't get from comprehensions alo

I think the extra work for a single developer to perform atomic commits is justifiable. How does this work with multiple developers working on the same repo? I'm assuming everyone should work on their own feature branch and send PRs on

I don't think CoL indeces are relevant because salaries are based on how much value a developer brings to the business. Suppose you have two jobs: $140k in NYC, and $100k in Dallas. If only one company can get an H1B, IMO it should cle
