Welcome to The Data Savvy Corner!
Intro
A site to store blogs about programming concepts, software development and data science. Generally things that future me will be thankful that I’ve recorded these things somewhere.
Site Overview
Byte-Wise Musings : Technical blogs, Explanations, tutorials, how-to guides. All articles are categorised according to the excellent diataxis framework.
Productivity Pulse : Music reviews. I listen to strictly non-verbal music when programming. This was a habit that I developed while working within a busy office environment. Instrumental music of several genres has helped me efficiently establish a state of mental flow required for deep concentration. I’ll include reviews of some of my favourite albums here, categorised by genre.
Bookmarked Insights : Book reviews. Much of my casual reading is non-fiction tangential to programming. I’ll review material here that I have found to be supportive of my work in various aspects, categorised by genre.
