| 7 | +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) |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +##### Post Ideas |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Discuss how I made shokunin |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + - **Title**: If you build it, will they come? |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + - **Subtitle**: notes on building this data science blog via a meta-review of notes other people have made while building their blogs |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- Explain analytical engineering (mentioned [here](../../about.qmd)) |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- Perform and Discuss MTA re-analysis |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + - **Title**: To OMNY or not to OMNY |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + - **Subtitle**: On using poisson distributions to save money |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + - **Inspiration**: [Which is Better? OMNY or 30-Day Unlimited MetroCard?](https://medium.com/@macklinfluehr/which-is-better-omny-or-30-day-unlimited-metrocard-22293f51f009) |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + - **Idea**: Driven by my benefits-election period, I try to figure out whether to use OMNY or a 30-Day Unlimited MetroCard |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + - **Improvements vs inspiration**: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + - I update prices to reflect new MTA pricing |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + - I account for inflation to reflect how time has passed |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + - I use R (rather than python) and Quarto (rather than a jupyter notebook) |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +- Explain converting thesis to Quarto from RMarkdown |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- Discuss my approach to learning |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +- Discuss and explain RMDD concept by using MTA re-analysis |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + - **Title**: RMDD on MTA analysis |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + - **Subtitle**: Using RMDD to turn the MTA analysis into a standalone package |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + - **Inspiration**: [RMarkdown Driven Development](https://emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/rmarkdown-driven-development/) |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + - **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. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- Discuss signing up for Kent Beck’s blog and using TDD at work |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- Discuss converting MTA package into a shiny app |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + - **Title**: Figure out whether OMNY or the monthly unlimited is better for you |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + - **Subtitle**: Converting a package into a shiny app |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + - **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. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- Discuss PostgreSQL API |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- Discuss improving speed of R code |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + - **Title**: That’s slower than I thought! |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + - **Subtitle**: On doing one successful thing too many times |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + - **Starting Quote**: The way you’d do something once is rarely the best way to do it 1000x - Quote from David Robinson |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + - **Inspiring article**: [Making R Code Faster: A Case Study](https://hookedondata.org/posts/2017-11-30_making-r-code-faster-a-case-study/) |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + - **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. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +- Explain adding RSS feed and submitting blog to Rbloggers |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +- 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__._) |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + - **Idea**: |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + - Explain why you started the course |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + - Periodically update post with list of repositories where you’ve made cool things |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +- Make post about being careful about what you put in warnings |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + - **Title**: The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + - **Subtitle**: On taking care about how you define conditions |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + - **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. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +- Discuss cool projects I've build through Udemy course |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +- Turn OTIL presentations into short blog posts |
