I’m excited to be leading another run of my popular virtual workshop, "A Values-Driven Framework for AI Policy as Fiduciary Responsibility," with the @nonprofitll.bsky.social on July 30! 🔗 www.nonprofitlearninglab.org/reg/aipolicy. ✴️ Attendees can use the code AIPolicy20 for $20 off registration

I LOVE this from @jasminedaly.bsky.social 's presentation at the Salt Lake City R User Group! I think it applies to all developers in the age of AI, not only consultants and those who use R.

I’m excited 💃

I just started using @supabase.com for a client project and I’m having such a fun time setting things up! It’s so user-friendly and intuitive ✨

I absolutely *love* that @simonpcouch.com mentioned using Google Sheets to easily supply input(s) and target(s) for evaluating #LLM quality {vitals} 🧸 Sometimes selecting right-sized solutions means deviating the "serious" data science techniques to get things done, creatively! #positconf25

🔖 Here is another lovely morning read about leadership in consulting: samlandenwitsch.substack.com/p/the-reluct... and it fits the theme of a book recommendation that I recently received too 'Choosing to Lead Against the Current': bookshop.org/p/books/choo...

I used to think using {renv} in projects wasn’t worth the headache as a solo developer, but after a recent conflict w/ GitHub Actions vs local package versions have converted me into an renv fan! 📦✨ Also trying a new watercolor technique with white crayon outlines 🎨 #rstats #databs #rpkgwatercolor

One of my new favorite routines as a consultant & business owner has been to block off 30 mins in the early mornings called: PAY MYSELF FIRST 💰 While I spend a considerable amount of time on client projects, I’ve enjoyed carving out some time to re-invest in myself.

Hex stickers have arrived! 🎉 I'm prepping the first round of mailings — if you want one of these shiny (yes, shiny and #rshiny — pun 100% intended) hex stickers, make sure you're on the list: 👉 forms.gle/CPraTfmntm6D... #databs #rstats
