  • Great cartoon and so much what is sometimes going on in the job world. In my case:

    Chef: You cannot work alone on problems. If you have one, don’t wait, but approach us.

    Chef after evaluation of work: You showed little autonomy (without mentioning that it has to do with approaching them when problems).





  • I jumped on Julia in the beginning (somewhere around 2015). I even bought the data analysis book by Bogumil Kaminski published a few years ago. However, Julia never made me feel comfortable. The syntax felt too complicated, even for smaller things. In addition, I kept running into compilation and package version issues, which cost me more time than I gained from typing or vectorization. The claims of some Julia followers that the language would soon surpass R or Python added another bad taste to the whole experience. I think this is part of the reason why Julia remains a niche language to this day. I stopped using it completely.
