Hi! I'm Victor!
Here's a quick intro :D

These days I focus on ML/AI at Google but have been a teacher, data scientist MLE, etc.

I try to be genuine & positive so when I leave this world it's in a better state than I found it

OooOooO that does look super interesting! Especially after learning my identical twin kids don't agree on the color of 'the dress'

Throwing it onto my list— this will be a fun preorder for future Victor to appreciate :D

I feel this— not counting replies, I had 63 just on my work email today. Actually a slightly slower day than normal XD

For my non-work accounts, I don't even bother looking into that abyss...

I think in general it's basically what @timkellogg.me said: 'the value proposition is complicated'

More specifically, here's when I first came about jj: bsky.app/profile/vict...
In short, git works just fine but something like jj changes your VCS mindset (it's similar to my work's way of doing it)

Felt pretty nerdy watching YouTube videos on random command line tools

Then felt *really* nerdy being recommended a video an alternative git tool: youtu.be/cZqFaMlufDY

Then realized this is basically what we do at work: github.com/jj-vcs/jj

Now I'm excitedly installing on my personal machine

As someone who's really liked Haskell & Jujutsu (jj) I feel this

I've actually been experimenting a bit with jj for actual work. But Haskell is more of a fond memory & I believe it's very unlikely I'll ever use it in my job : (

The worst key to stop working on my keyboard is broken: the 'v'

No, not because of my name— turns out pasting from my clipboard is something like half of what I do 🫠

I think lines are still quite fuzzy

fwiw I was called a "data scientist" (no PhD) but focused on ML. From my experience MLEs tended to be non-PhD compared to "research scientists"

It's seemed to shift more regarding names. Currently, I just ask individuals what they do over their 'title'

my left thigh started cramping as I was just sitting at my desk

I'm so happy that the office is still pretty empty because I definitely did a sudden spasm and probably looked pretty strange in that moment XD

Randy is just awesome so if you have #data leads for them definitely reach out to Randy!

They just hosted a great Data Behind the Scenes conference databsconf.com so you know they'd be a great asset!

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this : (

As no fun as it is, I'm sure you'll find your next adventure soon enough especially with the support you have ♥️

If you're at Google, you have a bunch of internal tools made in-house over the years which also gel well w/ internal infra (which also likely developed over time in house). But if there wasn't that internal baggage, I actually think most would be fine w/ Cloud. But obviously that's just my opinion

Being at Google but under the Cloud umbrella for the past 2 years, I can see this but it's more nuanced than 'internal is better'

My team uses both but Cloud feels more like the 'other' but is easier to work w/ folks outside the company. Internal infra works well w/ other Google internal tools

If we're splitting hairs here, it could be argued GitHub is *riskier*

At least you have the excuse that it was in storage— I've definitely neglected a machine that I'm still periodically using 😅

Don't know who in my circles would be interested (especially since I probably lean much more strongly to the other side), but I think this could be an interesting reading group to be a part of

Here's the link if you're interested: buttondown.com/ai-skeptics-...
