I've had some helpful/hopeful replies in this thread (eg bsky.app/profile/hadl...). I also finally read this blog by @hadley.nz substack.com/home/post/p-... , and I wish he'd done part 1 of that talk one more time at #PositConf2026! It would've helped to offset some of the other AI.

I've been feeling pretty down. When I found #RStats, I kinda fell in love, and decided to become as much of an expeRt as I could be. In the age of AI, that's not a good idea; why make the bots program in a language they don't really understand? #dataBS

A. When you use code to **analyze data** outside of an IDE, what are using instead?

B. When you analyze data without using code, what are you using to do it?

In this week's newsletter I look at the costs of schema-on-read vs schema on write.
There's also links to articles on an AI-ready warehouse, modelling and semantic layers, and where data goes.

Wife's hooked up to monitor contractions

wife to me: oh good, you have data occupy you
me: 100%— oh look at that, this one's lasting a lot longer!
her: oh yeah it's basically the same thing 🙄

(but seriously we both laughed because I couldn't help myself peeking at the data last time)

Weirdly felt the need to write this corrective on what counts as a semantic layer. #databs

Was great seeing so many peeps from federal agencies and state and local governments at #positconf2026. Open source data science is stronger than ever in #government. I’m always happy to chat if you want to talk more. #RStats #PyData #DataBS

This week on Counting Stuff, we're likely to say goodbye to leap seconds in October! None of us will live to see another such clock jump. Plus the whole negative leap second risk is all the earth's core's fault. #dataBS

The genAI-industrial complex hails software development as a banner use case.

What happens if developers and model providers part ways?
