How to make sure you ran reproduce all steps of your research months later? We demoed our CLI tool bead.zip that saves code and data together at RSECon at Warwick. Slides bead.zip/rsecon25

For the narrow subset of #econsky people clinging to their Stata and crunching big datasets with @duckdb.org, I have vibe coded a DuckDB extension that reads .dta files.

Give it a spin and report issues! (Thanks, @anthropic.com Claude Code and the Python Pandas implementation.)

Austrian Airlines is pitching Budapest for me.
I mean, I love the city. But as long as this is how well AI understands us, I feel safe.

I see a lot of scripts where the file name encodes some structure. Like analysis_this.do, analysis_that.do and plot_this.do, plot_that.do
If you have such a clear structure, you are best served by folders. It just as easy to write "src/analysis/whatever.do" as "src/analysis_whatever.do".

This is the only thing I use to take notes. Reading a paper, drafting an email, working on a model - I do all this in Obsidian.
It has an excellent Markdown editor, all your formatting is immediately visible. This includes realtime rendering of LaTeX equations, which is a must-have for me.

Clean coding was always about collaborating with others, including your future self. Now others include GitHub Copilot.
Use proper function signatures and good function and variable names, and Copilot will be better able to help you.
As soon as I entered `if`, Copilot could fill in the rest.
