Python 'won.' All the past reasons I'd recommend someone learn R instead (Shiny, RMarkdown, the tidyverse, slightly better GIS tooling, a vibrant Twitter community, etc.) have been equated or obviated. There are more career opportunities and paths via Python. Sad but true.

Here's my conversation with the founding team of Cursor, a popular code editor (based on VSCode) that specializes in AI-assisted programming. This is a super technical conversation that is bigger than just about one code editor. It's about the future of programming and, in

Now here’s a tough problem. As a codebase grows, so does the rise of old code and outdated patterns. This leads to burdened engineers and large clean-up sprints. So, we developed an open-sourced system to modernize the codebase without compromising developer speed. But how? ⬇️

We look for just enough friction. We found it provides just enough developer friction to uphold our high standards over time. Using the ratcheting system, we have executed many complex migrations. Even though this makes it slightly more difficult to reorganize the codebase

Something I hear very little talk about: How AI coding tools are so much LESS useful when used on existing, large codebases at work (with custom frameworks, conventions, coding style etc) ... compared to doing greenfield work or side projects So common for me to hear: "yeah I
