Looking for my #rstats friends on ALL the platforms...
HOW DID I MISS THIS????
This new #tidyverse package ate and left no crumbs:

dplyr but make it bussin fr fr no cap
`genzplyr` is an alternative syntax for `dplyr` that replaces boring old function names with GenZ slang. Your data wrangling is about to hit different.

This is the single most overrated image on the internet. Pisses me off how every time I see it, it has thousands of Likes.

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up
There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

Three talented #rstats programmers coming your way, #tidyverse!
Now back to reality - thanks for another beautiful week of learnings and Rfriends.

I loved the "Hmmmmmm" in the crowd when @jcheng5.bsky.social showed this data quality problem uncovered by the #positron Databot tool.
No human caught this during the Tidy Tuesday for the data.
I've been skeptical of AI for data analysis, but this is an extremely compelling use case. 🫣

The thing that struck me most is that even if you take away the code-writing necessity, knowing what to ask the bot for requires so much expertise.
Steps like "These points are overplotted, can we fix that" or "Let's look at only the top 50 restaurants" are incredible non-obvious to beginners...

Hadley is demonstrating ggbot2 - an llm to help to transform a plot. As an analyst who has done endless iterations on a plot (can you make this gteen?), this is like a dream. #PositCONF2025

Oof, that hits. I think I need to be reminded of this every year - for the people I'm teaching, the coding is a means not an end.

It's so hard to give a "teaching how to teach" talk in a way that includes concrete, actionable advice.
@ryjohnson09.bsky.social just nailed it.
