Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help with my networking skills. For a bit of background, I've been working as a Data Scientist / Full-Stack Developer for the past two years now, and I've decided I'd like to move to a bigger city with the intention of pursuing higher-caliber roles in the same field, and also expanding my social circle. For the past few weeks I've been sending tons of job applications out, however most of the listings I've come across have been from recruiters, and either I don't get or a response, or I get a phone-call with a recruiter trying to advertise a very low-quality role to me. I've read that around 80% of hires don't come from job applications, but rather from referrals, where people network using platforms such as LinkedIn, and suggest ways to companies that they can solve the problems that they are having. The problem is that I have no idea how to do this effectively, and most of the time end up sitting staring at my laptop screen in frustration. If anyone has any insights to share regarding LinkedIn networking or job hunting (preferably in the coding world), sharing your advice / experience would be greatly appreciated!

Ok first the good news: I'm working with a potential client (still in proposal phase) for a project that fits well within my wheelhouse: healthcare data. They want to incorporate an AI agent to analyze medical transcription notes and output a list of billable codes to create claims from. The bad news: I have literally no experience creating an AI agent lol. Help. Do I take the gig and figure it out? The AI portion I feel is a small part of the overall app but it's the core of what they want to accomplish. The rest, creating a claim, submitting it to a clearinghouse, the UI, etc. I can handle no problem. It's what I do on a daily basis. The AI agent however, I have no clue where to start with that. I was totally upfront with them about my experience with AI so I definitely will not take on a project I feel that I could not handle but this seems fairly straight forward. Also their budget is fairly small, likely 5-10k for a working prototype so there's that. But if I can nail this then I can add AI to my skillset. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys I understand python basics. However I need to learn Numpy, Pandas and Matplotlib. Where would be the places to start with these. Are there any tutorials that we get me up to speed in all of these say in a couple weeks? So I can move onto LLM's

Hey everyone! As we’re heading towards the final month of 2024, I’ve been reflecting on what a whirlwind the past few months have been. Q3 and Q4 have been incredibly busy — between running Datalumina, managing client projects, seeing amazing growth in Data Freelancer, shipping the GenAI launchpad, moving into a new office, and onboarding the first customers for our new SaaS product, it’s been a ride. 🚀 On top of that, keeping up with the YouTube channel has been both a challenge and a joy. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts of what I do — helping you all learn, grow, and tackle data challenges with confidence. Seeing your feedback and progress keeps me motivated to keep creating. Now, I’m starting to map out my content plans for 2025, and I’d love to hear from YOU. What are you currently learning? What topics would you like me to cover next year? 🎥 Would you like to see more LLM-based tutorials? Deeper dives into machine learning workflows? Maybe even some freelancing tips for data professionals? Or something else entirely? Let me know in the comments — what are you most excited to learn in 2025? This is your chance to shape the direction of the content we create together. Thanks for being part of this community! 🙏🏻 — Dave
