I was loving Claude Code... until I tried it with #rstats. Constant errors, wouldn't use the tidyverse even when asked, "optimized" functions were slower.
Frustrated, I started a session just to teach R to Claude and summarize what it learned into a CLAUDE.md file gist.github.com/sj-io/3828d6...

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.
It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package.
Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

I always try to remember: If it provokes an emotional response (positive or negative), it’s time to check the source.

Why do we 💙 #ggplot2?
Yes, it's for the Grammar!
But also for the passionate and supportive community — and their steady contributions to the ggplot2 universe: all the extension packages 🧩 that take its impressive flexibility even further, making it more powerful and beautiful 🙌

Putting together an Intro SQL course for our learners and I'm having flashbacks to the terrible database course I had in my Master's program. It took me a long time to understand database normalization, and when it's good to go down to a Normal Form, and not. #datascience

For completeness here's the same map in the classic Robinson projection
+ one of my favourite #dataviz tricks -- to put the legend on the top of the plot and use the plot title as the legend title too. This streamlines the digestion of the plot 🌟
