Most people use AI to write code. Boris Cherny uses it to build a system that writes code for him.

Your research team doesn’t just produce data. It produces knowledge.

But where does that go when a researcher moves on?

Most teams rely on "Internal Folklore": the stuff that only exists in Slack or one person’s head.

The best research teams treat documentation (Notion) as their "Team Memory."

How do you rank 51 F1 drivers when not everyone finishes every race?

Crashes happen. Engines fail. Some races have 22 finishers, others have 11. The data is incomplete and messy.

Traditional methods choke on this. Elo needs head-to-head pairs. Average finish position ignores who you raced against.

320 free workshop spots in February.

We'll build production D3 visualizations from scratch using Claude, you watch, then carry forward your own projects.

This NFL field viz took 15 minutes. 700 lines. Spec-accurate.

Scoreboards lie. Probability doesn't.

Absolute scores are noisy. We use Bradley-Terry, Elo, and TrueSkill to find the true signal through relative performance. 📈

Stay tuned: Plackett-Luce with Stan hands-on example coming this week.

For anyone interested in prototyping a Shiny App for Alex Honnold's climb up Taipei 101, here's a demo I made for some students earlier today.

I think the key point here is to make it fun/interactive.

Below is where we pulled some, not all, of the structural engineering info on the building.

Today is one of those full-circle moments.

I took this photo last night in the Iowa State Statistics building, Snedecor Hall.

A few feet in front of me is where I defended my PhD thesis.

Directly to my right is the room where I took my first graduate R course in 2013 (early days of RStudio).

A lot of "you'll never see this again" stat lines being create by Shohei Ohtani.

Four (4) intentional walks AND 12 total bases in one game is one you will never see again.

WOW!
