I don’t like nested functions.
So here's a small stylistic thing I do.

I wrote a simple Python Class that allows you to define functions and then add them to a pipeline that works similar to how method calls work.

The Pipeline class passes the output of each function to the next in the list.

Let's leave the term "GIS" in 2024.
GIS is software. Or at best a suite of software.
It's not a job title. It's not a career. It's not a discipline.
Tie your work to a single tool, you lose credibility AND income.
The world needs geospatial problem solvers, not software operators.

Geospatial, spatial data science, location intelligence, GIS, geographic analytics, digital cartography…

As a community, we need to make the way we talk about location data and analytics more accessible.

Picking a single term to use would be a good place to start

Anyone know a good blogging alternative to Substack and Medium?

I love the community of writers on Substack but I can't abide the sales-funnel of 6+ clicks that are required just to subscribe to someone's blog.

Who would you like to passive-aggressively gift this to this holiday season?

Them: "When did you first start using H3 hexagons as a spatial index?"
Me: "Well...that depends on what counts..."

I'd love to connect to more people in geospatial. Anyone know of specific starter packs I could be added to?

Just joined. Thanks to @lindastevens.bsky.social for recommending the platform on Linkedin. Somehow I had not heard of BlueSky before now.
