Building tools for myself 👷♀️
I project manage across tools - GitHub, Asana, SharePoint Lists, etc. Which makes it hard to quantify work and time block across clients.
Working on a "hub" to bring it all together and make life easier 😊

Late to the party (as usual) but Claude Code is pretty mind blowing.

Moving into new home this weekend. I have the opportunity to redecorate my office.
If I can make it happen, it would be really cool to put together an art wall with some pieces from #rstats artists.
Not all have online shops. TBD on logistics 🤔

I ignored the strip.clip argument in #ggplot2 for way too long 😲
Combined with a small negative margin tweak, you can place facet labels inside each panel. A tiny trick that makes small multiples feel so much cleaner.
🔵 no manual coordinates
🔵 inherits theme styling
🔵 scales nicely when resizing

For the data folk out there doing all the thankless work that keep companies afloat:
- cleaning dirty data
- maintaining leaky pipes
- building out dashboards so ppl can export to Excel
- explaining why reports don't match, etc etc
I see you. I appreciate you. You are better than any AI tool.

Just for fun, I built some interactive visuals to follow the Warner Brothers bidding war drama.
Tracks stock prices over the last 30 days for Warner Brothers, Netflix, and Paramount alongside a timeline of key events.

Pros and cons to every career decision.
But seeing all these return-to-office mandates only validates my decision to go independent.
The best perk - I can work where and when I want. #beyourownboss

The fact that we’ve politicized science is beyond me. The fact that this guy, an ACTUAL physician, was the deciding vote for RFK… shameful.
So much for that Hippocratic Oath. The dude you appointed is doing irreparable harm.

told myself i'd never get in too deep with insurance work again.
but after seeing way too many agency mngmt/policy admin systems with lackluster UI/UX, i could be persuaded to get back in the game.
just waiting on @kweest0n.bsky.social to say yes to launching an insurtech startup w me... #saywhen
