Always trying to make something that means something. Ziplines, sailboats, kids, companies, relationships.

An excellent overview of the evolution of EDA and data viz: from Tukey to BI tools, Python/R/JS tools, in-process databases e.g. DuckDB, WASM...and the exciting future changes to how data is done. Thanks @jthandy.bsky.social y.bsky.social @hamilton.bsky.social

why can't we have both?

consistent underlying platform, different development experiences... right?

C developers still fight about vim / emacs, they're still united by language.

i think we often make things in data very hard that should be very easy.
Depending on who you talk to, there are two versions of data democracy vis-a-vis technology:

1. My data, my choice. I want to be able to use my choice of tool/tech for my data.

2. Inclusivity. Eveyone should have easy access to data. Therefore, I'll choose generic tools that anyone can use easily

Dipping my toe in here. Deeply skeptical of social at this point in my life but at the same time in search of that Twitter golden age. Trying to be open. Hello world.
