Data Analytics Workouts

Even before AI, I would have thought that work being done now would be automated, and of course, AI will replace some work - since developers automate tasks themselves, using rules, patterns, and processes - but the idea is always to stay ahead of the 'crushing wave' of new tech, often automating oneself out fo a job, thereby keeping your job... BTW, this mentions interesting tools leveraging AI to help coders, rather than simply replacing them, since the latter is not currently a realistic scenario. Source: Will A.I.

Complexity: A Guided Tour by Melanie Mitchell My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoy reading in systems and complexity, and this was a nice addition to my shelf, with a slightly different take than other books. I found a few areas in the first half a bit tedious, overly long, repetitive, and not illuminating, but generally, it's a great overview of seminal work and very thought-provoking. The first half overlaps but nicely differs from other books I've read, covering things like chaos and information processing, and the latter half of the book I found more engaging, focused on models, computation, network science, and scaling. As mentioned, although I found the first half a bit of a slog at times, the second half was very engaging. View all my reviews

My corporate annual review period recently passed, and I was reminded of all the skills developed and completed tasks over the past year, both in and out of work.

Video Courses Although largely focused on reading to learn, I do partake of various streaming video resources via Pluralsight. The courses I've completed this past year: Multiple courses on management and leadership Developer to Manager Technical Writing: Documentation on Software Projects Quantitative & AI-related courses, accompanied by work in R, Python, or VBA Understanding Machine Learning Understanding Machine Learning with R Data Mining Algorithms in SSAS, Excel, and R Understanding and Applying Logistic Regression Understanding and Applying Factor Analysis and PCA Understanding and Applying Financial Risk Modeling Techniques Books Software Development ...
