“Why python vs R?”

“What’s inside your new python course?”

“What will it do for me (if I’m an #R user)?”

I’ve been getting a ton of questions so I figured Twitter can help me explain.

#python #rstats #datascience Image
1. R vs Python.

My guess is 90% of my followers use R.

So why am I promoting python?

Well I just wrote a full article on why R users should learn **some** Python…

Even if python is harder.

2. What’s inside my new python course?

I just put together a 5 minute video that shows one powerful use case for python.

And it’s the course project.

3. What will python (& your new course) do for me?

I actually just wrote a full article that explains everything…

Here it is: learn.business-science.io/python2 Image

I'm super proud and excited to announce that my brand new #Python for #MachineLearning & APIs course IS LIVE!

And if you're curious here's what you should know... Image
On our live webinar on Thursday, 152 people made the jump! Our previous best was 75 on the day of the launch...

So we more than doubled our previous best.

And 100 people picked it up in the first 2 minutes of the announcement. 🤯
But it's not about me or my records...

It's about you. And your careers.

Thank you to those who committed!

I can't wait to see how your careers grow.

1. Machine Learning

ChatGPT created the basic code for an XGBoost Machine Learning model

The model is used for scoring the customer spend
2. Shiny App

ChatGPT produced the code for a basic shiny app that packages the model...

...And the app can make new spend predictions based on tweaking inputs for a new customer.

I just revealed the data science project that helped my small business generate $3,500,000 in revenue in the last 2 years.

Here are the juicy details...

#datascience #python #rstats #career Image
It's true. My company did almost $2,000,000 last year with an email list size of under 100,000.

And a big part of it was the Marketing Analytics that I'm revealing in my new Python course.

What did we do?
We used machine learning to score leads.

We then created nature vs sales targeting segments.

Then we did this...

90% of data scientists don't track their experiments.

Here's how to fix that with one line of code... 🧵

#datascience Image
Experiments are the lifeblood of a data scientist.

They help you answer questions like:

Which model performed best?
Which model is actively deployed?
When is the last time we updated the model?

But 90% of data scientist are just saving a model file and thinking their finished
Well, there's a tool called #MLFlow that simplifies this process and makes managing model lifecycle much easier.

And you can log your models in #MLFlow with 1 line of code...

As a data scientist, productivity is a 10X super power.

Here's a short list of AI tools to help data scientists with: 🧵

#ai #datascience #career #skills #tools Image
1. Writing code

AI pair programming is a huge benefit.

Tools like #chatgpt & github #copilot can help debug complex code and replace Googling + Stack Overflowing for common scripting.

Key skill: ChatGPT prompting (more on this in my free ChatGPT for Data Scientists) Image
2. Code Quality & Documentation

Great products have great documentation. AI can help produce documentation, comment code, and replace time-consuming manual documentation with automated AI docs.

Key Skill: Using @mintlify to build your docs: mintlify.com Image
