The community effort to make the penguins data accessible to all R users took almost exactly 2 years to date!! Our first email exchange was February 19, 2023.

Seeking examples of DevRel job postings that focus less on one way marketing to audiences, and lean more toward improving the developer experience. Seen any that speak to you lately? Hook me up πŸͺ #dataBS

Exactly- it feels like my hit rate for interesting things is like once a week for LinkedIn, once a day past Twitter, and Bluesky is getting there.

I get why content writers keep focusing on beginner topics, whether it's intro to DS or intro to wtf a heat pump is .. but dammit, we need more people writing intermediate+ stuff

This is early days to show... @manzt.sh and I made a Jupyter sidecar for use with `jupyter console` and @zed.dev.

Run `cargo install sidecar` to get access.
