I'd like to second what the poster above said. My main stack is flask and in my most recent project I decided to use DRF since I was working with a pretty simple data model. It was stunning how much faster it is to go from nothing -> v0 vs building in flask.

Why?

I will, thank you.

I asked more to hear the author's opinion about which of the concepts are most directly applicable/related to web development so I can start with those (feel free to answer if you know!).

Hey, this is a wonderful concept. I am a self-taught web dev who works mostly in Python, and I've just begun to learn algorithms & data structures.

What chapters to you think I, or someone like me, would get the biggest kick out of?

"Fundamental" was not an important qualifier in either of your posts. OP did not define what that meant in their context, and therefore it's not fair to nitpick based on that alone. They might as well have said "ticklish" for all the difference it made to their overall point.

If that's really what your whole post is about, why take the take to argue definitions? What does fundamental mean to you exactly?

What's your strategy to source relatively large deals like that? In general terms. Are you cold calling? conferences? Is it from online advertising? offline? referrals?

It's a good idea, but not entirely correct. Looks like the founder of Amplemarket is a different John, but probably a friend or something.

Sure. How much would you pay? What are your main challenges? What kind of tool specifically?

I agree with your sentiment, but curious to see what you ran into specifically.

Same. I have heard no anecdotes of people being invited yet either.

I think you're right that Rymbolic + sympy are good comparisons as well.

That's an awesome site. I've been reading this book on a specific implementation of the design thinking methods with GV's "design sprints" -- might be worth checking out if you haven't heard of it already: http://www.gv.com/sprint/

Well R and Pandas cover data analysis for the most part, while is is a computer algebra system? Seems like apples to oranges, really more comparable to sage/mathematica.

I disagree with the sentiment in the original post, at least for the generalization given, and with the justification of the cloud sync as an ongoing service justifying the cost.

The justification of the cost is the value that the app is bringing to me (or my business). If I had some kind of lead gen software that brought me an additional N leads per month I'd loooove to pay N(.05)(margin_on_closed_deal) or something like that -- and having used similar justifications to potential customers I know that many businesspeople agree.

Weird. It has never worked for me, and that seems to be the general consensus on the review of the extension. I'm on Chrome/Mac OSX.

What os/browser are you using?

I'm one of the 7000 Connect beta users and would like to say that I'm very happy with it.

Other commenters are comparing this to Rapportive. LinkedIn has discontinued Rapportive and this is an excellent substitute.

So far the hit rate for finding emails has been about 80 - 85% in my experience.

As an aside: I think Clearbit's building a really excellent suite of APIs, and Connect is only the icing on the cake.

Shout out to Rodeo IDE as well -- they're doing a great job at making an "Rstudio for Python"

Thank you -- that's the one.

It's funny... I posted something similar yesterday that (IMO) is much more informative but didn't get any attention: http://www.sketchdeck.com/blog/less-is-more-our-analysis-of-...

Must be the fun animations that sell this.

"'To that end, today we will begin phasing out the following Digital Magazines: Yahoo Food, Yahoo Health, Yahoo Parenting, Yahoo Makers, Yahoo Travel, Yahoo Autos and Yahoo Real Estate,' Nelson wrote in a Tumblr post."

RoR, apparently.

I'm not qualified to comment on what's "good" or not. I'd just be willing to bet that if you wrote your own best-of with better/reproducible methodology AND borrowing some established copywriting practices you'd easily outrank this post... but only if you do both parts.

I think what explains the difference is that the author is a writer by trade -- not a statistician.

The author successful tells a simple story with unexpected tidbits and concrete language (eg "every submission you see here is certifiably timeless") and does a good job following writing best practices like "not burying the lead".

You might be interested in reading "Make it Stick" (it's where I learned about this subject from) if you haven't already -- and/or the Priceonomics guide to content marketing.

Clickbait title probably didn't hurt either.

I get that security is your thing, but don't you think that telling someone to ditch their side project and critizing the underlying technology is extreme given that it's basically a side project?

I don't think OP is suggesting that they use it for anything more serious than a quick poll at the moment.

Sorry if I'm misreading the tone of your post.

On mobile this redirects me to a bunch of spam somehow... Careful if you click through.

With all due respect... What the hell are you talking about?

Well Python is right there in the title! ;)

It looks like more of an ebook and it seems to cover most of the essentials in your typical undergrad course + bootstrapping and intro to bayesian. From what I scanned it might be a little slow if you're just looking for a stats refresher -- depending on your level of experience I'd recommend the numpy and pandas docs as a "next step up" from the link (and maybe a bit more practical IMO).

I'm interested. Could you provide a starting point for reading? Preferably with extensive references!

So this is neat and all, and I'm all about learning more about whatever... but what does it mean to learn the architecture? It's not stated in the article where this is useful to me personally (in terms of experience), and I assume for others like myself. What does it mean to write something in javascript with "module libraries" only? That doesn't mean anything to me.

Does anyone have specific recommendations on how to pursue what the author suggests?

Hey, that's really helpful. Thank you for the well thought out answer.

Hi Jess -- good on you for being skeptical. Honestly curious about two things:

1. Why do you think OP's wrong? You don't really state, in either this thread or that one.

2. What our your sources for OP being incorrect? Semi-anonymous internet posters can keep trashing each other ad infinitum, and without any sources (that I saw, maybe I am wrong) you don't present a convincing argument against.

Thank you!
