\u2192 Hadley Wickham, the Man Who Revolutionized R<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

I don’t know, if Hadley Wickham is the most prolific R developer (could well be), but he is\u00a0behind some very\u00a0influential packages, e.g.\u00a0ggplot2, plyr, reshape, lubridate, dplyr. Priceonomics featured an article about\u00a0the statistician who is, “in his own words, ‘nerd famous.'”<\/p>\n

\u2192 When Maps\u00a0Lie<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Lengthy, but interesting article on how maps can (purposefully or not) distort, hide, skew information. If you want to spot the tricks and mistakes of the trade, read this.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Full Stack Geographer<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Great post on versatility.<\/p>\n

“‘You have Management skills, Analytic skills, Developer skills, and Data Management Skills. \u00a0You\u2019re kinda all over the place.’ \u00a0They normally pause here, I don\u2019t know if they are collecting thoughts or what. \u00a0My normal response at this point is ‘Well, I\u2019m a consultant. \u00a0You know, you learn whats billable.’ \u00a0Which while it is the truth, isn\u2019t MY truth.”<\/p>\n

“Now, go out there, and be bold, break shit, and learn.”<\/p>\n
