Who's teaching you
Sergio Sánchez
The explainer videos for tacosdedatos and the images in my recent posts come out of one folder, with my design preferences and eight skills my agent reads. When I correct something, I first ask whether it's a preference for everything or a decision for that one project. Only the preferences go in the file. In this course we go deeper into how to read a chart and how to fix it, so your agent makes charts with your taste and reviews them the way you would.
I'm Sergio, chekos online. I've worked with data for about ten years, mostly at mission-driven organizations: policy research first, then education, and now early childhood services. In 2018 I started tacosdedatos to share what I was learning, and since then it's been a blog, a podcast, courses, guides, and a community. These days I spend a lot of my time building with AI agents and writing about how I organize my work around them. I share what I've learned; you take what's useful and make it yours.
