Thanks for being brave with me and admitting it 😂

I kinda like the squares since it's paper!

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 5h

Are we thinking round or square for these 🤔

Libby Heeren's name next to her comment on Discord where she's posted four emojis: two happy faces and two sad faces, taken from her school notes. Each pair has one square emoji and one round emoji.

I'm on it

You can FEEL the grad school, can't you. I had some flashbacks just harvesting them from Discord haha

I promise it doesn't look as nice these days as the arthritis in my hands has progressed to swamp witch levels hahaha 🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️🧙🏻‍♀️

I remember taking a lot of pleasure in drawing out those little Venn diagrams and getting the highlighting colors just right 🥹 Sometimes I miss being in school, but then I remember group projects and I change my tune real quick 🙏

I bring you a sampling of gifs, memes, and pics I sent to my cohort in the last semester of grad school: a collage.

I was goin' through it, huh.

Lots of practice taking lots of notes 😵‍💫

Good old lattice!! Imagine not even knowing ggplot existed. Just lattice 🙊 I never hated it, either!

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 5h

Aw, y'all, I'm finding some of my notes from undergrad, too. Look at the cute little happy face and sad face! I think this was from my multivariate course. I am a color-coder, in case that wasn't clear. #databs #rstats #python #notability

Hand-written statistics notes. The section of notes shown is on selecting covariates. The notes are written in different colors, so it looks like the notetaker was working on an ipad. There are two venn diagrams in the center of the notes depicting proportions of explained variance.

I didn't even learn ggplot2 existed until grad school 😂 we learned in base just using lattice to put things together, so my one small section of one grad course that used ggplot blew my mind. I wonder if I could get that little bike dude positioned just right on a plot

I tried so many. Spyder, Pycharm, VSC standard. None of them felt right to me. Pycharm got closest in some ways, but then did things I didn't want in other ways. I just never settled on one I liked and would end up literally working in Google Colab sometimes 😆

Hahaha, either one you choose, you win!!

I'm glad you like it, Giles! It's the Python IDE of my dreams ❤️

My professor said no one else turned anything like this in, so I might have been a little extra 😅 We definitely didn't learn to use this software in class! (I used Infogram to design it!)

Just found my Business Analytics midterm from undergrad. I got a 100! Gosh, there are things I'd change if I did this again today 😆 Here's one page. It looks like I might have also turned in a literal printed sheet of #SQL code? Hard to tell. No, wait, there's #SPSS output in the appendix 👌🏼 #databs

Analytical report titled "Who are our customers?" that shows a fake bike company's buyer demographics. There are charts showing Annual Income by Marital Status, Gender, and whether the customer's are "Bike Buyers" or not. The page background is white, and the charts are all in dark grey and medium blue.

Is #Positron going to replace #RStudio? 😱 (This is the worry I keep hearing lately 👀)

Posit Software Architect @jmcphers.bsky.social says, "there are certainly no plans to get rid of RStudio."

Sorta!

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 1d

I feel it!!! Admin time for you! Haha

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 1d

Appropriate 😆

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 1d

I wish 😭 too many meetings and context switching on other days! But I keep wednesdays sacred. No meetings, no distractions, just open space to plan, clean up, and work.

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 1d

It's a mission to prevent my own personal technical debt, and it's as challenging as it sounds!!

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 1d

It's ✨admin day✨ so you know what that means: Libby endeavors to close every single tab and program, update everything that's nagging her for an update, save every untitled.R and untitled.py file, and just generally clean up shop/restart things. WHY IS IT SO HARD?
