When you spend two days joking with your data friends about being old and not understanding Gen Z slang, and then @hadley.nz drops this 😂

I was like, was he sensing our conversations?! It's like when you worry your phone is listening to you #rstats #databs
Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

I post a lot about how important it is to not just do data quality checks on your entire sample, but also by grouping variables (to uncover hidden errors).
But @emilyriederer.bsky.social wrote a whole article about it! emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/groupin...
Make grouping a first-class citizen in data quality checks | Emily Riederer
Which of these numbers doesn’t belong? -1, 0, 1, NA. You can’t judge data quality without data context, so our tools should enable as much context as possible.

I use a standard set of prefixes when naming objects in my #rstats code and if I was dictator for a day I'd make everybody implement it.
