New blog post sharing updates on the latest version of the Diel.Niche R package, which we just released about an hour ago. Interested in quantifying if a species is nocturnal with data? Well it is easier than ever now! 🧪 #rstats #cameratrapping

I totally agree. And I think this applies to coding as well. Writing your own code (as best you can) is how you learn and think through many aspects of your analysis.
AI is a helpful tool but it shouldn’t be doing the heavy lifting for you.

It’s a mistake to outsource most writing to AI.
Even if the output is accurate and engaging, something valuable is lost in the process. Jotting down intuitions and spelling out hunches is how we develop and refine our ideas.
Writing is where we do our best thinking.
