This is a great thread - we use testing to hire, but narrow coding tests just aren't useful. I've never written code without copious Googling, and practical problem-solving is totally distinct from e.g., implementing algorithms. You'll never do that in 95% of data science jobs!

This week's newsletter is on the data about homelessness in California, why it's likely to get worse, and how the local government is totally unprepared to address it. Like everything else in CA, it's a housing cost story. standarderrors.substack.com/p/the-coming-c…

Some theories: #1: Ballots exude shark repellent. #2: Non-voters are less conscientious & bait sharks. #3: Non-voters are less conscientious & bait pollsters. #4: Shark bites are underreported. #5: The ANES only reaches Floridians living in mangrove swamps. Many possibilities!
