This is one form of self-verification, and we especially encourage official organizations and brands to do this! Examples include @npr.org @react.dev @duolingobrasil.com.br.

Here's our guide for how to do this:

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.

Question for #databs folks:

I am searching for a recent write up of how data careers/titles are evolving. Has anyone written or read something that resonated on this lately?

I’m hoping for a boots on the ground point-of-view of basically “where have all the data scientists gone” 🤠

Hey folks 👋

So many new faces I want to meet! Please introduce yourself here - I want to meet folks who do not just reflect and write about it, but actually go build or ship or code or teach or add something new to the world based on their reflections.

Links help so I can boost your signal ☕️

FYI, I don't know of a tool to search lists outside of just searching for the word "starter pack" but one way to find out what packs/list you're on and maybe bringing you followers is to go to clearsky.app and search your account
