I’ve now shared the code for my “Variable Utility is not Intrinsic” article here: https://github.com/WinVector/Examples/tree/main/Variable_Utility_is_not_Intrinsic.

And I have also ported the entire article to Python. It is actually kind of neat to be able to compare the two and see how close doing data science in R and in Python can be made to be.
