@willccbb @yacineMTB The reason for this is pretty boring. Everyone knows data is important, no one wants to work on it (because they see it as low status). They don’t know other people are working on it because they think those people are low status.

every 2 months there's some big post that's like "what if someone worked on data why is no one doing this" and then everyone that works on data is like "we're working on data btw actually". it's fun i like it
