Data Science
Learning resources and ideas
- One of the most clear and useful books on bayesian and causal inference Statistical Rethinking
- "Blog" seems reductive to describe the collection of writings of one of the most prominent professors in the field statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu
- Interesting researchers to keep an eye on nicholas.carlini.com, minimizeregret.com
- Risk, Data Science and Machine Learning bpostance.github.io
- A casual introduction to causal inference for business analytics causalflows.com
- On interpretable machine learning christophm.github.io
Practical stuff
- For environment that are very "closed", where your sysAdmin will not make you install another language/package/library just for doing a bit of data manipulation. If you already know some command line tools, doing some exploratory data analysis might not require Python/R/Julia. Data Science at the Command Line, Useful commands list
- Also solutions for plotting exist YouPlot (other options available, some of them are real time too).
- For serious production endeavors in a closed AND performance aware systems consider using C/C++ root.cern. Also jupiter-like interactivity is possible blog.llvm.org
Software Engineering
Ideas, advices and projects
- This I think is a good synthesis of a lot of programming "ideologies" of the last 25-ish years Pike's 5 rules
- Putting here an article to share the blog but his lessons on low level programming, "computer enhance", are the best I've ever seen caseymuratori.com
- The greats dave.cheney.net and commandcenter.blogspot.com
- Advice from somebody who has to really deliver software to make a living positech.co.uk
- Tinkering at its best jasongullickson.com
- Software engineering like it should be taught 0de5.net
Backend oriented
- I've experienced real pain doing a lot of what the author writes, so as always... is the truth in the middle? kubernetes: maybe a few bash python scripts is enough
- William "Bill" Kennedy and its company Ardan Labs, extremely well curated training material for intermediate level developers. ardanlabs.com
- Always good to keep as a reference, especially if you deploy on a server bash oneliner
- A mention for a DB, or BaaS if you want, that stands out in my opinion: pocketbase.io It strikes a balance between being open source but having good and consistent coding standards, it provides abstractions but they are so well though out that you can remove them and work with the underlying constructs fairly easily, it has a convenient front end SDK that you can totally not use, autogenerated API endpoints and documentation, and you can extend its behaviors with Javascript or Golang (preferred). Also, its author seems to have a general vision that is more than just the DB pockethost.io, which is always a great thing to see.

Indie web
- I'm not a "movement" guy, but there is for sure something to be said about keeping things simple and not basing technical decision on FOMO. Also, you might find these kind of things totally great, so here is a simple "How to navigate the IndieWeb ecosystem" guide, starting with some "manifestos": thewebisfucked.com, potato.cheap, indieweb.org, The small web, heat death of the internet, Where have all the websites gone
- If you need an example for how cool and yet perfectly functional handcrafted personal websites can be nicchan.me
- But also no need to code much to have a cool place on the web jblort.fr
- Here are some website where to find other personal blogs ooh.directory, 512kb.club, flamedfury.com, rusingh.com
- And if you get overwhelmed at some point by your RSS feed daverupert.com
- Fun stuff to add to your personal blog if you decide to create one frontendmasters.com
- And an example workflow manuelmoreale.com
