The learning curve is steep in #RStats but the payoffs do come: "I now spend well over 90% of my work time thinking about and programming in R... as I built better tools...it becomes even easier to build new tools... and I have many techniques on-hand (in-brain) for solving new problems."
Where do you find time for all that stuff that you are doing, that is what I and all R people I know are asking themselves. And more seriously, I wonder about the co-evolution of rlang, dplyr and tidyr, what was driving what.

Have you ever thought to yourself… how can I make my #rstats plot UGLIER? Well, look no further, cuz it’s good plot-bad plot time! My students made plots that will make you want to laugh, cry, and throw your computer out the window. Which one do you think is the worst? 🧵🧪

Great to have Bsky #rstats gaining critical mass. Hopefully we can get it like the heady days of 2010s-2022 Twitter #rstats, where it seemed I was learning new things & following interesting new people every day. These starter packs are great...when you see one, repost & follow people in them.
It’s been almost one week since I made the RStats Starter Pack. The response was very positive, and we are all following each other much more closer now 🥳.
I have added more people to it, so give it another look and follow more great #RStats friends!
