Welcome

Two Years of Stata (In Numbers)

10/20/2015

​I recently celebrated my Birthday, which is an occasion where I can’t help but reminisce about the past or stop over-thinking about the future.  This also (closely) marks my two-year work anniversary, which precedes my two years of experience at the Energy Commission, two years of Graduate School, and that one year at UC Davis where I first learned about this great software called STATA.  Little did I know back then that it was a very big deal to spell Stata correctly.

In looking back at my experience at work, it’s easy to forget what I have done, and even easier to forget what I do on a day-to-day basis.  In order to help jog my memory, I wrote a crawler that scrapes all of our directories and all my personal files for any do-files I have written in these past two years.  I image the Twelve Days of Christmas tune when going over this list… but I really shouldn’t.
8 million characters typed
2 million words a-written
200,000 lines of codes
1,700
 do-files
1,250 SQL statements
830 graphs
230 times invoking Mata
100 programs
All influenced by 3 coworkers that greatly shaped my code.
To create these numbers, I made good use of dir(), along with the fileread and filewrite functions. For a more detailed list of what I like to start my lines with, check out the attachment below!

anks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading jh and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
