Hello, prospective reader. You’ve arrived at the site of Dan Saber (my condolences). Here I am:


I’m a writer and Data Scientist based in Silicon Valley. My work has shown up in The Economist, Inside Big Data, and more.

I use this site primarily for my technical writing. It also serves as a launchpad for my non-Data initiatives, which you can find below and in the menu above. Although we live in an online environment that demands we build narrow “brands,” I have a habit of exploring too many things.

Please poke around. I hope you find something you enjoy.


Writing

My writing falls into a few main categories:

Technical

That’s what I do on this very website!

Some of my more popular posts include this comparison of Python data visualization libraries and this in-depth tutorial on difference-in-differences regression.

Go here to see it all, or click “Data Blog” in the menu above.

Tech, culture, and management musings

That’s what I do on my Substack!

I’m especially proud of this post on scaling companies and this anthropological deep-dive on the non-obvious impacts of remote work.

It’s all free, so join hundreds of other smart, curious, and devishly attractive readers by subscribing.

Writing for other outlets

I catalog all such writing here.


Other things I operate on The Internet include:

  • A LinkedIn with a decidedly mediocre picture
  • A Twitter which primarily features complaints about UCLA sports
  • A thoroughly unimpressive GitHub, albeit one that has seemed to bring value to several people

(On the whole, I would give my own web presence a 4/10.)
