| title: "Ideas" | ||
| date: "2024-01-24" | ||
| categories: [lists] | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| A running list of ideas for future blog posts and improvements. To read more about the motivation behind this, click [here](../../posts/future_ideas/index.qmd) | ||
|
|
||
| ##### Post Ideas | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss how I made shokunin | ||
|
|
||
| - **Title**: If you build it, will they come? | ||
|
|
||
| - **Subtitle**: notes on building this data science blog via a meta-review of notes other people have made while building their blogs | ||
|
|
||
| - Explain analytical engineering (mentioned [here](../../about.qmd)) | ||
|
|
||
| - Perform and Discuss MTA re-analysis | ||
|
|
||
| - **Title**: To OMNY or not to OMNY | ||
|
|
||
| - **Subtitle**: On using poisson distributions to save money | ||
|
|
||
| - **Inspiration**: [Which is Better? OMNY or 30-Day Unlimited MetroCard?](https://medium.com/@macklinfluehr/which-is-better-omny-or-30-day-unlimited-metrocard-22293f51f009) | ||
|
|
||
| - **Idea**: Driven by my benefits-election period, I try to figure out whether to use OMNY or a 30-Day Unlimited MetroCard | ||
|
|
||
| - **Improvements vs inspiration**: | ||
|
|
||
| - I update prices to reflect new MTA pricing | ||
|
|
||
| - I account for inflation to reflect how time has passed | ||
|
|
||
| - I use R (rather than python) and Quarto (rather than a jupyter notebook) | ||
|
|
||
| - Explain converting thesis to Quarto from RMarkdown | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss my approach to learning | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss and explain RMDD concept by using MTA re-analysis | ||
|
|
||
| - **Title**: RMDD on MTA analysis | ||
|
|
||
| - **Subtitle**: Using RMDD to turn the MTA analysis into a standalone package | ||
|
|
||
| - **Inspiration**: [RMarkdown Driven Development](https://emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/rmarkdown-driven-development/) | ||
|
|
||
| - **Idea**: I think RMDD is a brilliant concept and I'm curious to see if I can use it to bridge the gap between interactive analysis/reporting and fully reproducible, production-like code. | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss signing up for Kent Beck’s blog and using TDD at work | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss converting MTA package into a shiny app | ||
|
|
||
| - **Title**: Figure out whether OMNY or the monthly unlimited is better for you | ||
|
|
||
| - **Subtitle**: Converting a package into a shiny app | ||
|
|
||
| - **Idea**: I haven't used shiny in a long time, but I think converting a relatively simple package into a web application will help resurrect old skills and build new ones. | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss PostgreSQL API | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss improving speed of R code | ||
|
|
||
| - **Title**: That’s slower than I thought! | ||
|
|
||
| - **Subtitle**: On doing one successful thing too many times | ||
|
|
||
| - **Starting Quote**: The way you’d do something once is rarely the best way to do it 1000x - Quote from David Robinson | ||
|
|
||
| - **Inspiring article**: [Making R Code Faster: A Case Study](https://hookedondata.org/posts/2017-11-30_making-r-code-faster-a-case-study/) | ||
|
|
||
| - **Idea**: Driven by a situation at work where I’d written code that did something correctly once and then just attempted to map that code. Although it took a while. I came back to the repo ran it and was shocked that it ran much quicker than before. Turns out a senior colleague had changed one line (shown below). This is an attempt to figure out why it was so fast. | ||
|
|
||
| - Explain adding RSS feed and submitting blog to Rbloggers | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss [Udemy's 100 days of code course](https://www.udemy.com/course/100-days-of-code/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA8NKtBhBtEiwAq5aX2J1oxQ1FsBhOWecgqrUu6bUG_-yKJalnpOU20pba9CfKfd5D1OH7LhoC1agQAvD_BwE&matchtype=b&utm_campaign=Python_Search_la.EN_cc.US_PP_Control&utm_content=deal4584&utm_medium=udemyads&utm_source=adwords&utm_term=_._ag_157608885513_._ad_682960868291_._kw_100+days+of+code_._de_c_._dm__._pl__._ti_aud-2268488108839%3Akwd-426491059186_._li_9004362_._pd__._) | ||
|
|
||
| - **Idea**: | ||
|
|
||
| - Explain why you started the course | ||
|
|
||
| - Periodically update post with list of repositories where you’ve made cool things | ||
|
|
||
| - Make post about being careful about what you put in warnings | ||
|
|
||
| - **Title**: The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone | ||
|
|
||
| - **Subtitle**: On taking care about how you define conditions | ||
|
|
||
| - **Idea**: I was recently working on unit testing an API package and I could not get a unit test to pass despite modifying the function that was being tested and being absolutely sure the error message I expected was the one that was being thrown. Turns out that although the messages "looked" the same to the human eye, there was some regex weirdness happening. | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss cool projects I've build through Udemy course | ||
|
|
||
| - Turn OTIL presentations into short blog posts | ||
|
|
||
| - Discuss cool presentations I've made | ||
|
|
||

|
|
||
| - Add thesis to github | ||
|

| Future post ideas | ||
| In a [previous post](../about_lists/index.qmd) I discussed keeping running lists of resources I want to come back to. In addition to these, I've decided to also keep a list of [future ideas](../../lists/ideas/index.qmd) for shokunin. Although I initially balked at the idea of posting my unfinished plans, I really do want shokunin to be a "place" where I can cultivate, refine, and share my interconnected thoughts and ideas.[^1] While I think I can cultivate and share my musings already, I think showing the process of refining an initial idea can only be done by showing different ideas at different stages of development. Additionally, I think keeping a list of future ideas can also act as an easy commitment device[^2]. | ||
|
|
||
| - How I made this blog | ||
| [^1]: I discuss this more in [shokunin's inaugral post](../welcome/index.qmd) | ||
|
|
||
| - Explain analytical engineering angle | ||
| [^2]: defined as "a strategy or tool that is used to help people stick to a plan or decision, even when it may be tempting to deviate from it" by [The Behavioral Scientist](https://www.thebehavioralscientist.com/glossary/commitment-device#:~:text=A%20commitment%20device%20is%20a,follow%20through%20on%20their%20plans.) | ||
|
|
||
| - API (once reviewed) | ||
| So consider my list of future ideas an informal contract/promise about what's likely coming up for shokunin. That said, I make absolutely no promises about the quality and tidyness of those ideas. What I do promise is that the idea at the very top will always be those I'm currently spending the most time working on. | ||
|
|
||
| - Add thesis to GitHub | ||
| Dedicated to craft, | ||
|
|
||
| - Brushing up my Quarto | ||
|
|
||
| - approach to learning | ||
|
|
||
| - That’s slower than I thought! On doing one successful thing too many times (write after reading Emily Robinson’s article) | ||
|
|
||
| - Quote from David Robinson - the way you’d do something once is rarely the best way to do it 1000x | ||
|
|
||
| - Inspired by this post from Hooked on Data and driven by a situation at work where I’d written code that did something correctly once and then just attempted to map that code. Although it took a while. I came back to the repo ran it and was shocked that it ran much quicker than before. Turns out a senior colleague had changed one line (shown below).

|
|
||
| - MTA analysis | ||
|
|
||
| - Finish RMD of recreation of Macklin Fluehr's [analysis](https://medium.com/@macklinfluehr/which-is-better-omny-or-30-day-unlimited-metrocard-22293f51f009) by accounting for inflation | ||
|
|
||
| - Discussing Emily Riederer's [RMDD concept](https://emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/rmarkdown-driven-development/) by turning the analysis into a more controlled RMD and then a package | ||
|
|
||
| - Turn it into a shiny app | ||
|

|
|
||
| - Convert work OTIL presentations into blog posts | ||
|
|
||
| - Convert work datapalooza presentations into blog posts | ||
|
|
||
| - Make post about 100 days of code, then begin pointing to repositories where you’ve made cool things and explaining the code | ||
|
|
||
| - Be careful about what you put in your warnings - on unit testing and how your tests can fail because of your poor understanding of regex | ||
