Want to watch @hadley.nz doing code stuff live with us but can't actually make it live? Our last #DSLab with Hadley is up on YouTube!

Note: along the way, I also learned that the new #PositAssistant combines Assistant and Databot's functionality, so you no longer need to use these tools individually.
