My favorite part was learning that I've been pronouncing "pandas" correctly all along. I've never felt more vindicated.
And y'all are wrong about candy corn. 😜

We talk about moving between R, SQL, python and the strengths of different analytical tools for diff data tasks. You won't believe what proprietary language gets a shout-out (Stata!)

In a conversation back in Dec, hearing some Python guys talk a little about the many ways frameworks would claim to be pandas friendly (when they sort of weren't), made me really happy to be an R user. Nothing is perfect, but I feel like you don't notice the "seams" often.
