I don't know who needs to hear this, but data frames are NOT native Python objects. You need special libraries to use them, and downstream software does not natively support data frame inputs.

Prospecting "season" already in full swing. Looks like commercial buyers are once again interested in data products in addition to the crazy AI RFPs out there.
What's exciting are all the geospatial projects showing up - it's about time.

One of the most irritating things about having a job in data analysis is dealing with other peoples’ subjective tastes in visualization.
I can handle a messy plot, from time to time, but some of you like ugly colors and should really seek professional help.
Sorry not sorry. 😝😅

Business data science and machine learning is often treated the same. Glad (sad) to see we’re not alone on this

The original sin of many scholars is treating methods as a mere nuisance rather than an integral part of the scientific process.
Every week I'm reminded of how measurement, statistics, design, bias and error are so often treated as sidecars to "the science" in clinical research. It seems like the funders are coming around on this, which is great. Will institutions respond by investing in methods expertise?
