PyCharm is unparalleled in its understanding of code and it's great for building codebases. It is a programmer's tool first and foremost. I find PyCharm's interactive features clunky and have to do extra work to see the data.
RStudio / Rodeo provides an interactive data analysis environment where multiple "views" are presented right in front of the user. A view could be a plot, a data frame or interactions between the code editor and the terminal. As a data analysis person it really helps to put the mental strain of code far away as possible and just explore the data.
Jupyter Notebook are nice but it can get overwhelming (too much scrolling) when things get complicated. Great teaching tool, however.
I think each of these tools have different use cases and it's great that Python is getting more user-friendly with the data science workflow.
you're right technically I was threatened with a lawsuit which I mentioned in the first line of the article but it didn't make any sense to elongate the title to make the distinction.
Haha "or your mother-in-law coming to live with you." I enjoyed that. I agree for the most part there are a small number of things worth panicking about.
I completely agree. Not to be too self promoty because thats what we are aiming for at my site www.varely.com but I think everything can be better through more people expressing themselves. There are so many different experiences that we've all gone through and we should be sharing those. In my cases it can help people so much just by knowing people have gone through situations that you have.
For selfish reasons being a good writer and communicating well lets you expose your true talents and intelligence. I honestly think evaluating someone through their writing for the most part can be a more effective test than looking at a persons resume. Anyone can bring a resume and hit all the write points but writing well lets you communicate your interests and passions. You can really show how passionate you are about a subject and how well you an articulate your ideas. In start ups I think thats one of the most important things and in general its valuable.
I also agree when you say you are going to write you conduct your life as if you are going to write. I think it makes you a little more present in your situations because you realize that you want to take note of life. You want to recognize the small things in life that may go unnoticed but are significant.
That definitely is a monetization route and incentive that we've considered using to attain users. Going forward with a larger user base that is definitely something we can pursue. The goal is first to get to that user base because obviously now that is the difficult part. Our main concern now is gaining traction and a following. Thanks for the idea, I appreciate the help.
That definitely does help, I appreciate the tips. As far as the Why Varely sentence at the top of the page do you mean like the home page where the content is you think it should be at the top there?
I was torn between doing that or just leading with the content to peak interest and then having them inquire more about the concept. Thanks for the help!
yeah I agree I need to create more incentives, like you've mentioned I have more coming in the future but the difficult part seems to be to get the following necessary to make those things possible.
I would say some of the benefit, and again this comes more with scale is that the content will be arranged mainly in two ways being by popularity and newest which when compared to reddit is similar though the culture for reddit is more of posting links and discussing other peoples content where I'd like original content on Varely. Definitely do need to think of clearer incentives.
Also the topics are just popular ones but you can post about anything you'd like and tag your post with it. I should also clear that up too. I really appreciate the feedback!
