I'm all in on coding with AI. Most days it makes me feel like when I first discovered Python - many new things are possible! This classic from xkcd (xkcd.com/353/) sums it up. Then other days, Claude says things like "Let me read the current state of the file before guessing" and I'm back to earth.

I really enjoyed this! Thank you @mkennedy.codes for inviting me on the show. Our conversation included refactoring notebooks, testing notebook-derived code, and changing your mindset when you're moving to production code. There's also a book giveaway - see the show notes to enter!

My #PyConUS talk, "Going from Notebooks to Scalable Systems" is up on YouTube - check it out if you'd like to hear about best practices for moving from Jupyter Notebooks to modular, robust Python scripts: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4hy...

#PyConUS is my favorite conference. It's such a positive community. I really enjoyed meeting so many people at my talk and afterwards signing books. Thank you to @anvil.works for hosting my book signing and to @oreilly.bsky.social for providing copies of "Software Engineering for Data Scientists"!

And if you weren't able to attend my talk, here's the slides and code: github.com/catherinenel... Book signing - 2pm today at the Anvil booth in the expo hall

I'm heading to #PyConUS! I'm excited to present a talk on best practices for moving from Jupyter notebooks to Python scripts that scale. And thanks to the awesome folks at @oreilly.bsky.social I have 10 copies of "Software Engineering for Data Scientists" to give out. I'll share details at my talk.

So many good books by the authors on this list! Check it out: go.bsky.app/5TbQa24

Hello Bluesky! A quick introduction/reintroduction and update from me. I’ve been in data science for a while but now I’m exploring the space between data science and software engineering. I’m a Pythonista, author and public speaker.
