Things I have learned in building a complex DB to handle multi use case applications. 1) automation is your friend find ways to replicate repetitive work. 2) notes and documentation, while hard to do will save you time long run 1/2

6) don’t build everything that’s asked for, is it a real need or a need right now. Find a way to filter requests. 7) in parallel to building your automation build ways to update your current data. No data is perfect and corrections are always necessary (another tough lesson)

8) find integrations that support what you are doing, there are a ton of tools out there. 9) don’t be afraid to ask for help, there are so many ways to do the same thing. Just because it works doesn’t mean it’s the best way. Also, people have already done what you want to do

This is a very solid list for sure and I am positive any of them are happy to help, but likely dependent on what you are hoping to develop. Many things can be done with R/Shiny and also many different ways (ex. data.table vs tidyverse). So be specific in what you want to do.
Sports scientists! Who would be your go to practitioners to help you develop your R coding skills?

I used to say I haven’t done anything I can’t do in R as a reason to not use other languages. Now I know that other languages and tools have their place because their are limitations to all languages. Recently built an end to end pipeline and 1/2

Would not have been able to do it as efficiently in a single language (I tried and not even close) there are some really great tools out there and expanding my skill set has been an extremely useful experiment. This is especially true when data has to go to many places

My daughter thinks I don’t like her having sleepovers when secretly I do. She puts herself to bed without me having to force her. Tonight her and her friend were asleep at 8:30 a rarity on any night.

Since this was the first question most asked, I probably should have noted that this is a paid gig.
Anyone out there that may be interested in an extra side gig (maybe more) in sport. I have an opportunity available. Person needs to be able to code (or read code and redo) in c++. If interested shoot me a DM and I can give you more details.

I was just reminded again that asking the right question generally leads to the right answer and asking the wrong question can lead to a answer but not the right one. (This time it was the right question to ask google) just saved myself hours over the next few weeks

And in honesty I had spent those additional hours for multiple week prior by asking the wrong question. Take the time to evaluate what you want to know not what you want to ask.
Just when you think you are getting good at coding a rogue # that causes you to debug for 2 hours will bring you back to reality.

15. As a former D-lineman (of much lower caliber), it's been rough learning just how hard the sport is on the bigs. Hoping this will encourage further study on the topic so that we can lessen the impact. Full text is available on the blog. hrvtraining.com/2021/05/26/s…

Also a big thank you and congrats to @lorenatorres07 and @DuncanFrench they were amazing to work with during the process and it was an incredible amount of work to pull together.
