Please people, I beg of you, use Nix!
I'm off homebrew completely. I don't know why, but it just created a layer between me & my installations that made everything harder. Maybe it's because I don't know what the heck I'm doing half the time, but I can't be the only one. Python installs are now uv, everything else is direct 😅 #databs

For dplyr releases, we send a PR any time we break an #rstats package. This release advances a lot of deprecated functions, triggering issues in many old packages!

what the recent Tailwind drama showed is that the primary audience for tech books/docs is going to be LLMs now, no one's going to read anymore, not that people read anything before. Just upload a book's PDF and ask for a TLDR. Future tech docs will be written with this in mind

Tired of LLMs hallucinating R/Python function names?
pkgctx extracts real API specs from packages — signatures, arguments, examples — into a compact YAML file you can paste into any LLM.
Works with CRAN, PyPI, GitHub, or local packages.
