This was quite successful on fedi, so might post up here. Good people of the #rstats community, I have need of work. I don't need much, but some income while I keep writing and doing promo stuff is important. Given my personality, I think the R community would be a good place to look. If you know of

Do you know how to input the commit message when using Git revert? So that no Git editor is opened?
You can't, you have to do it in two steps
git revert --no-commit

for anything slightly complicated, LLMs write very poor R code.
i don't suppose they were fed enough training data for R.
this means my dream of ditching programming and becoming a full-time mango farmer has been delayed [again] for more than 5 years :(

I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`.
It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.

Similar to what Elizabeth said, first check to make sure there are no duplicates (janitor::get_dupes is one way in R). Then decide what type of join you want to do. Names will also need to be identical across datasets. I give several examples of how to join in R here: cghlewis.com/blog/joins/
