This episode is Part 2 of our conversation with James Blair. He explains how he found his “accidental perfect fit” as a solutions engineer and how that role became a pipeline into product management. Get a peek into the AI-powered tooling he’s now building for the Posit ecosystem, and hear how he’s using Claude Code, Positron Assistant, and DataBot to generate synthetic, industry-specific demos on the fly — plus, why the real magic is keeping humans firmly in the loop.

Greg Swinehart mocked up the first rstudio.org, and JJ Allaire and Joe Cheng sent it back for looking too good. He's been at it ever since, from hex stickers to Shiny's new look. He and Michael Chow get into the "JJ Allaire patented heat index," why the best design would have no words, and the four-person crew with a broken laptop that redesigned every Safeway. Plus, Michael's 2019 rstudio::conf pecan pie heist. What’s Inside Why RStudio's first website couldn't look like "a real software co...
Posit CEO Tareef Kawaf’s theory about LLMs is that they work like an exponent on whoever you already are. Greater than one and you compound. Under one and you accelerate in the wrong direction. Michael, Wes, and Hadley chat with Tareef about what that means for data science, along with John Chambers' Prime Directive, why Tareef now goes up against his own board, and the cat he waited 40 years for. What’s Inside LLMs as an exponent, and why the base is youThe CEO bug hunterJohn Chambers' Prim...
Leland McInnes has spent his career building tools a lot data scientists take for granted (UMAP, HDBSCAN), and amusingly the applications of those tools keep getting stranger. On this episode of The Test Set, he tells Michael, Hadley, and Wes about teams tracking laundered gold through mineral impurities, and the time he helped casinos optimize slot machine layouts. Also, why nobody's intuition survives contact with high-dimensional space. On this episode of The Test Set, we hit all that, plu...
Ruth Milligan has coached hundreds of conference speakers, curates TEDx Columbus, and wrote The Motivated Speaker. She's here to tell you that speaking is habitual, not natural. Michael, Wes, and Hadley get a live fifteen-second filler word hack, an uncomfortable truth about listening back to your own voice, and the three kinds of pitches Ruth has been reading for seventeen years. What's inside Why a great idea beats a great speakerSpeaking is habitual, not natural, and that’s goodThe fifteen...
Trevor Manz went from measuring plant apertures by hand in a wet lab to building the notebook that lets coding agents take the wheel. The creator of anywidget and founding engineer at marimo (marimo.io/pair) popped into The Test Set to spill on reactive notebooks, why marimo pair threw out every MCP tool but one, and what agents really want out of a data environment. This conversation also features a jacket bouncer, a hidden Python API, and Michael's slow-motion war with the word "marimo." Wh...
