don't forget #databs

As a data scientist I learned concepts like these in a rushed, messy sort of way, usually as a means to an end. So nice to have them all collected and laid out in clear and simple terms.

Here's a video of me live-coding a hospital flow dashboard to use as a conversation starter. It's written in R shiny. youtu.be/aLm2WPfNmGM
It's deployed here: smithdata.co.uk/apps/hospita...

The data reliability question you're avoiding Are you making the right trade-offs?

In this week's newsletter I write about the data reliability question you're avoiding.
There's also links to articles on relating rigour, how your pipeline might succeed but your data did not, and how decisions are really made.

Think of a great data leader you worked with (for any definition of "great"). What made that person effective? How does data leadership differ from other kinds of business leadership?

Really good to have the opportunity to spend time with Andy and take him through some of what we're doing with #databs, #rstats, and #python in the #nhs. It's a tiny but perfectly formed team!

Spotting and Avoiding ROT in Your Agentic AI The following article originally appeared on Q McCallum’s blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission.Generative AI agents and rogue

What do a rogue trader and an AI agent have in common?

Potentially, quite a bit: both are capable of creating long-running, compounding problems that remain hidden from a business until it's too late.

What does it mean to take responsibility? Taking responsibility is more than getting a name down in a spreadsheet

In this week's newsletter I write about what it actually means to take responsibility for data.
There's also links to articles on DucbDB transpilation to reduce warehouse costs, ontologies on Snowflake, and observability becoming a bottleneck.
