First time trying databot, and I'm 🤯

I (well, databot mostly) analyzed a recent #Tidytuesday dataset and then published the results to #Posit Connect Cloud...all in less than 10 minutes.

This is the future, folks

Data folks, I need your help! (for an internal project I'm working on)

In one sentence, what frustrates you most in your work?

R in Production, r-in-production.org, is a new book that will help you put R into production, coupled with (in the near future) new tools to make the process less painful. I'm working on this with @thomasp85.com , @gaborcsardi.bsky.social, and @hfrick.bsky.social.

I've been working on a Quarto blog to showcase my training videos—it's not really a blog but more like a "content organizer." The default blog styles didn't quite work for me, so I dabbled with custom listings in Quarto.

I've never used ejs before, but wowsers is it cool! quarto.org/docs/website...
