Strength isn't about being unbreakable. It's about being broken and continuing your story anyway. The cracks and repairs become your character, your wisdom, your art. The Japanese call it Kintsugi. Life calls it growth. #Stoicism #MentalHealth #PersonalGrowth

Python newbie tip: Opening files? Bad: file = open('data.txt') data = file.read() # Forget to close? Memory leak! Better: with open('data.txt') as file: data = file.read() # Auto-closes even if code breaks! The 'with' statement is your safety net. #Python #CodeNewbie

Think Python variables are boxes holding values? Plot twist: They're more like sticky notes pointing to stuff in memory. That's why: x = [1,2] y = x # Just adds another sticky note y.append(3) # Changes what both x and y point to Want separate lists? Use y = x.copy() #Python #CodeNewbie

The quietest wisdom isn't found in grand epiphanies or life-changing moments. It's in that split second when you catch yourself about to react, pause, and choose differently. That microscopic gap between trigger and response? That's where you become who you choose to be. #Stoicism #MentalHealth

Python newbies: Want to double every number in your list? The fancy way: list(map(lambda x: x2, [1,2,3])) The readable way: [x 2 for x in [1,2,3]] Both give you [2,4,6]. But the second one you'll actually understand next week. #Python #CodeNewbie #100DaysOfCode

Dear Python beginner: Classes look scary at first - like algebra did in school. Start with lists, functions, and loops. Get comfortable there. Classes are like level 2 of the game. You'll know when you're ready- when basic tools feel too limiting. No rush. Learn at your pace. #Python #CodeNewbie

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

The biggest lie in data science isn't 'the model will be done tomorrow.' It's 'I know exactly what the business wants.' 90% of project failures happen in translation, not execution. Ask questions until they're annoyed, then ask three more. Better awkward now than sorry later. #DataScience

Your data pipeline is like a recipe: If you wouldn't feed it to your family, don't serve it to others. "Quick fixes" and "creative solutions" might look tasty, but they poison the whole dish. Ethics isn't a garnish—it's the main ingredient. #DataScience #Ethics #Analytics

Ever notice how stakeholders treat data like a buffet? They pick what supports their view, ignore what doesn't, then ask for seconds of the good stuff. Your job isn't to be the chef - it's to be the nutritionist. Guide them toward a balanced diet of insights. #DataScience #Analytics

Evil isn't some grand villain in a castle plotting world domination. It's the small compromises we justify. The truths we ignore. The wrongs we excuse because they're convenient. Heroes aren't born in epic battles, but in tiny choices made when no one's watching. #Stoicism #MentalHealth
