The Pensieve

Of late, I have been following up with data analytics and learnt R and Pandas (using Python). Somehow, most of the work that I now do is crunching data and representing them in a more fancier way. In a lighter vein, when I am at home, I try to see how my non-work data can be represented as charts and graphs. Here is the first attempt to categorize the list of programmers editors that I had used throughout my life time... This was generated using R and ggplot (ggplot is a great library that allows you to generate different types of charts). Why not excel? Sure, I can do the same in excel as well. But once the data becomes huge to manage, it becomes difficult to monitor each of the cells to see if the formula is right. Sometimes, they get complicated enough that I have to wait for a few seconds every time I make a change in a cell or consider turning off auto-calculation in excel. It is much more simpler to have the processing logic as a source file that you can modify separated from t
