The latest version of Styler now supports defining custom shorthands, e.g.: m-t-1 for margin-top-1
It's a really simple tool but I find it thoroughly enjoyable to build and use.

The long term value of Recreational Programming (apart from enabling you to enjoy what you are doing again) comes from allowing you to explore unusual things outside of the local optimum that the market pressure forces you into.

#ragnar 0.2.0 is on CRAN #rstats!
It has a MUCH improved chunker; markdown_chunk() picks better boundaries, builds context, segments by headings, and handles overlapping chunks. Oh, and ragnar_retrieve() can deoverlap retrieved chunks now.
Website got a big update too: ragnar.tidyverse.org

Despite claims that "R is dead" on social media, 2025 has been an incredible year for #rstats:
💻 {ellmer} wrapping LLM APIs;
💻 {mcptools} & {mcpr} implementing MCP connections for R;
💻 Native parallel processing in {purrr} via {mirai}
What else are you excited about?

That one is not subsettable either :(
New to me is the term "premature closure", where you too quickly latch on to the first solution you see. Always a danger in coding, but particularly so today when LLMs can give you a plausible fix so so quickly.

Pitfalls of premature closure with LLM assisted coding
When LLM models generates clean, professional-looking code, it's tempting to stop exploring alternatives. But therein lies the risks that comes with premature closure. So what is premature closure?
