This is my story into data science.

I am addicted to the process of learning and improving my skills nearly to a fault. The reason I say nearly is because my addiction is fueled with results. I crave the output of my work enhance the work of others. I jump with joy as I see users gain insights they could have never imagined before. My mouth starts watering as I see their boring repetitive data mining activites be completed in a matter of seconds, opening up their mind to focus on their expertise. The day I stop learning will be the day that I start looking for another career path.

It’s not all about winning.

This morning I log into my VCS and check activity on my projects to find that someone else has been very active on my projects fo the last few weeks. I quicklyhover over the missing avatar to find that It’s Me. What’s wrong here, why do I look like two different people throughout the day! upon further investigation I see the issue. while setting up a new terminal environment I mistyped my email address by one character. After much searching and a few failed attempts I was able to fix it by following an article no longer available (2021) from https://help.github.com/articles.

Clone the repo, note it must be a --bare clone.

git clone --bare https://github.com/user/repo.git cd repo.git

The year of intenionality

This is a follow up to my previous post 2018-retrospective

This year I will become more productive, by intensionally working on a well thought out plan, learning the right technologies, and leave behind a positive legacy.

...

2018 was a year of many ups and downs, and learning to deal with a whole new set of problems professionally and at home. In 2018 I logged in to my first Linux system, setup my own webserver, data pipelines, database. I learned to use react and d3. Stepped up my python, javascript, and sql.

At home the doctor appointments keep piling in. While I am learning to deal with it all there were several times throughout the year that I was very overwhelmed with everything and broke down.

Here are the goals I had listed out for 2018 and how I faired at completing them.

...

Today I want to take some time to talk about the things that make me happy in my work environment. This is completely free-flow off the cuff, but are things that I do that make me happy, not having them would definitely be a deal breaker for me .

A positive work atmosphere goes a long ways. We all have enough negativity going on in our lives that is out of our control accepting any negativity in the workplace is a no go for me. There was a point in which I was suffering a lot of negativity at work. This began to trickle into every part of life, and it became hard to see positivity anywhere. My wife not only noticed this, but put a polite request in for change. It was definitely a low point and she could tell tell that my work life was not helping anything.

For what we are creating in these posts d3 is way overkill and very verbose, but I need to start somewhere! These are just stepping stones into real custom visualizations that cannot be done in any other tool today. I still cannot explain how excited I am to say “I created that in d3!!!”

Today I will be learning about d3 scales, and adding them to the bar chart that we created yesterday. Follow along as I try to create something interesting.

maybe a few days ago…. give me a break I have a lot of other priorities

I recently subscribed to Ben Clinkinbeard’s learn D3.js in 5 days, and am currently on day 3. I read through the first 2 days, and felt fairly comfortable with selecting elements, so I did not follow along on the first two days. I probably should have, but there are only so many hours in the day.

D3 is the ubiquitous dynamic visualization library for building custom interactive visualizations on the web. It is a bit low level, and more verbose than many other libraries that build upon it, but if you want full control D3 is the way to go. I have used a few libraries built upon d3 in the past and have been very happy with the results. For now I want to start learning a bit about how d3 works. I know that learning it is going to take a long time, so I want to start working on some simple examples now in order to build my understanding so that I can learn quickly when I am ready to dive in. If I never decide I need to take the deep dive into d3, I think understanding how it works will only help when I am using higher level libraries.

I cant express how fun it was to build this example. I always saw d3 as being super low level and that I could never build something in it. It was so cool to watch the magic happen in such a short period of time.

I recently finished up the flexbox-zombies course to learn more about flexbox, and to become proficient with it. I can truly say that this course has changed the way that I create layouts. Flexbox is very intuitive now. What this course does really well at is explaining the concepts and hitting you with a ton of examples that you can work through really quickly.

A clip from the final round against Dave

Flexbox requires a wrapper container to work I will refer to this as the flex container, and the items in that container as items.
