One of my favorite conf talks of all time was Ryan Timpe's talk about learning R via hilarious side projects, so I'm pretty freaking pumped to say he's is gonna be the featured guest at the Data Science Hangout tomorrow 🤩 If you haven't seen that 2020 talk yet, here it is: youtu.be/oOG-aXP_ICI

Recording of my #positconf25 talk about learning from AI mishaps is online! (Took me a few days to muster the courage to watch 🤣)

Also I’m joining the Posit DS hangout tomorrow to chat about anything data science and silly side projects!

I can’t prove it but I feel like my iPhone is subtly increasing font size as I age.

Speaking at the 1pm Facepalm-driven development session at #positconf2025 ! Hope to see you there!

I love writing first drafts because I get to word vomit chaotic thoughts all over the place and know it’s a problem for Future Ryan to clean up.

Getting ready for posit::conf and excited for my talk about finding the value in LLM fails.

Last few times I brought limited edition hex stickers. Need some good ideas for a design this year.

Some of our politicians have never played a game of Civilization and it shows.

Heading back to posit::conf this year to talk about succeeding when your AI coding assistants fail!

LLMs are hot topic at posit this year and hoping to bring a new twist to this conversation.

Really not a fan of this minifigure trend to allow the skirted ones to sit.

This implies minifigures have knees! They absolutely do not have knees.

My vacuum counts the particles it picks up and plots by size.

Slightly skeptical of the unit precision of the 650m+ smallest ones tho… 🤔

Wonder how much money we spend and emissions we generate by saying “thank you” and being polite to our AI tools.

Got to Ante 15 in #balatro and now I have nothing left to achieve in 2025.

Coolest part of being a python 🐍 n00b is using pyspark and pandas interchangeably and having no clue what’s going on and no remorse.

Using AI to learn python on-the-job, and using AI to fix the bugs AI introduces, and using a different AI to fix those bugs and can’t help thinking that I should probably go back to the old way of coding.

Gotta get back to make more nerdy content now that social media can be wholesome again. Brickr and dinosaur content commencing soon.
