Future of Coding

my god what an amazing time to be working on data tooling. Seeing interesting prototypes every day:

Indeed. But the reverse perspective is that's not such an amazing time to _use_ data tooling, because it changes all the time and your choice of today may be obsolete and unmaintained tomorrow.

I suppose its fun to be building data tooling, but not using it :stuck_out_tongue:

Which perhaps explains why we have so much of it!

I generally don’t mind having more data tools, but ideally they’re composable

the R and Julia approach of letting each ‘field’ publish their own quirky packages is kinda interesting

That's just one way of dealing with the still very high incertitude about what good data tools should look like. What I hope we will get to soon is a consolidation phase: people actually looking at each other's data tools and adopting their best parts.
