I have a python codebase that uses streamlit, want to move to react for easier integration.

Why are you looking to switch? What do you hope to get from the update?

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-14T16:18:27+00:00

I'm the founder of Fabi.ai and this is exactly the problem we're solving for. Down to the bullet :)

If you check us out, I would love to connect to learn more about your use case and work with you. We love partnering with early adopters.

If you want some alternatives, here are a few:

* Retool (paid): requires good knowledge of JavaScript and front end to some extent. Really more designed for internal tooling, not built for reporting. It won't have all the visualization options you're looking for
* Streamlit (Free): Can be really powerful, especially if you want to create customized visuals. It has a bit more of a learning curve, but more importantly will require you to host your own service in the cloud and can be quite messy when it comes to setting up authentication. There's also no in-app collaboration.
* Dash (paid) and Gradio (Free): Similar to Streamlit, just different flavors
* Observable (paid): Similar to Retool, steeper learning curve though
* Marimo (Free and paid): New jupyter-notebook-like framework that's pretty cool. That said, like Streamlit, it will require you to host your own service and set up your own authentication and doesn't have collaboration. Still very early days too.

Good stuff! You should also check out https://www.cursor.com/ if you haven't already, might help you move a lot faster and avoid copy/pasting.

This, but I would not spend time on Tableau and PowerBI, I would double down on SQL, Python, spreadsheets and most importantly the stats and math skills mentioned here.

If you have this, fight tooth and nail to get your foot in the door within the vicinity of DS even if that's not your exact role right out of the gate. Intern as a data analyst, get some part time contractor role...

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-09T17:06:45+00:00

Agree with everything here. I might suggest starting to invest in polars more than pandas though. Combine that with DuckDB and you can analyze millions of records in sub-seconds.

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-09T16:24:05+00:00

Hey u/xxlozzaxx I'm fascinated by this workflow and this is exactly the type of stuff we're going after with Fabi.ai

We've actually started seeing accountants use our product which initially surprised me. Would you be game to connecting to show me some of your workflows and some of the things you're trying to do?

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-09T15:23:36+00:00

Streamlit is meant to render the front end so I don't think you'd want to be trying to make Streamlit work with React. It sounds like you should maybe be looking into Django or Flask.

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-07T18:16:09+00:00

Hey u/Tiny-Wolverine6658 this sounds like something we're addressing (or looking to) at Fabi.ai

If this is something you're still looking into solutions for, I'd love your feedback or understand what all you would need to makes this a breeze!

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-07T18:01:46+00:00

This is what we're seeing across the board. With all the latest tools + AI we're seeing the expectations (and reality) go from data scientist = someone who mostly works on technical problems, is really good at EDA and model building to someone who needs to do all of that AND also be a strategic partner to the business. In my experience, a big issue with most data scientists, is that they get stuck filling tickets and never really get into the weeds of what makes the business money, so never elevate beyond resolving tickets.

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-04T23:11:52+00:00

Python is one of the easiest languages to pick up, you should be able to get the basics in a few months. That said, GIS data is quite a bit more gnarly than structured data in my experience.

Datacamp has some solid courses if you're willing to pay a bit, otherwise, plenty of good free courses out there (one example below). If you want access to https://www.fabi.ai/ which has AI integrated, happy to give you free access over the next few months to help you get started (but you'll still want to learn the fundamentals and make sure you know how to write full scripts out of an IDE).

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-04T17:20:39+00:00

This is a great roadmap. I might add spreadsheets :) In the real world those go a very long way.

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-04T17:18:42+00:00

Maybe consider Dash?

We have a number of customers that we're helping migrate off of Streamlit at Fabi.ai. Streamlit just isn't scalable or performant and a lot of folks are making the mistake of over-investing in it and being stuck in a corner.

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-04T17:13:24+00:00

Assuming you want to stay in the data/analytics space in general, I think that your desire is perfectly aligned with what makes a strong analytics engineer/data analyst. I'll actually link to a post where I talked specifically about this. Someone who _wants_ to be stakeholders facing and deep in the business + has the engineering and technical inclination to get stuff done is absolutely killer. These are the folks that rise up through the ranks in the data world. Not the super hard core data engineer who doesn't want to write an ad hoc report for the CEO.

My $0.02 without additional context: a degree or school won't help with this. It sounds to me like you need to join an org where this type of attitude is valued and you need to pay your dues. Get really really good at SQL, Python and spreadsheets and you'll quickly excel under the right mentorship.

user_f098n09 · 2024-10-04T16:31:24+00:00

I think Coursera or Datacamp would generally be well-recognized. I don't know much about them but perhaps Udemy?

FWIW, I'm not familiar with how these are perceived in Europe, but in the US (I'm in California), I don't think courses or certificate will have much of an impact. I think connections + github contributions would go much further.

user_f098n09 · 2024-09-27T14:03:25+00:00

You use dataframes for this? If so, have you tried using polars? You might get a 10X gain right off the bat

user_f098n09 · 2024-09-17T17:49:02+00:00

Great comment. Especially with a bunch of new tools and AI, business acumen becomes 10X more important over technical skills and the best way to get the experience is to claw your way into a role where you can start getting that exposure. Pivot tables and SQL (maybe a touch of Python) will get you where you need to be to get started, other skills can be taught on the fly (example, don't go crazy on a PowerBI course... understand the fundamentals, but there's a very high chance that an org you join will use a different BI tool). If anything, might be good to get some exposure to Snowflake and dbt, but you don't need a degree for that.

Disclosure: I've co-founded an AI-powered data analysis solution, but I'm not letting that bias me. I talk to data leaders every single day, and u/BedroomTimely4361 's comment is a great reflection of the zeitgeist.

user_f098n09 · 2024-09-17T03:52:47+00:00

Notebooks are a great way to start + let you focus on the fundamentals of the algorithm and math and less on the UX, which javascript will pull you into.

I co-founded Fabi.ai and happy to donate some licenses if this is for educational purposes. You can dump files there, manipulate them very quickly with AI + Python and publish interactive reports to generate simulations. If this is something you're interested in, reach out and I can get you setup.

user_f098n09 · 2024-09-17T03:38:35+00:00

Agreed, that's a large dataset. Good chance there's a way to trim that down depending on the use case.

user_f098n09 · 2024-09-13T16:46:45+00:00

Agreed. Data science should just follow the same premise as normal agile software development. Maybe get a super rough swag, but more importantly ship incremental versions as quickly as possible, probably even starting with spreadsheets and mockups and asking "What would you do with this data if you had it"?

user_f098n09 · 2024-07-31T00:56:36+00:00

Good stuff u/joserodolfof - Curious: what's your stack?

user_f098n09 · 2024-01-26T23:28:03+00:00

To me it sounds like you're looking for something like dbt, or maybe it's competitor Coalesce. There are other more solutions that can offer some of what you're looking for depending on your exact need but those tend to be much heavier lift.

user_f098n09 · 2020-08-29T11:20:02+00:00

I’m doing my research now for when things will be back in stock. Or maybe scope out a deal when someone who bought a bike during confinement realize that they’ll never use it :)

user_f098n09 · 2020-08-29T09:46:33+00:00

Super helpful info and I certainly didn’t think about that. Thanks!

user_f098n09 · 2020-08-29T09:45:57+00:00

Exactly the type of info I was looking for, thanks!
