That’s a wrap for my week! 💜 It’s been a pleasure sharing R posts with you. Let me know if you try rig, pak, bslib, or conflicted!

There’s always more happening, I’m sure we’ll cross paths again soon ✨ I may or may not be up in the air!

Stay in touch:

Congratulations, @joscelinrocha.com!

And the answer is…!

Data Elixir is one of my favorite newsletters. Love it when they share #RStats resources!

And now they're on Bluesky! 🦋💙

Visualization + simulation! Very cool, @darakhshann.bsky.social !!

Thanks @cghlewis.bsky.social for the #rstats tip !! The rainbow indentation looks sooooo cool 🤩

Ah, great to know! Thank you!

ggplotly is such a great package! I bet it was a great time, @rladiesmelb.bsky.social!

🚀 NEXT WEEK! Apply for an R Consortium Technical Grant by Oct 1, 2025. Grants fund projects that strengthen the #rstats ecosystem.

#opensource

walk_to_door <- function(step = 500, goal = 1000) {
miles <- 0
repeat {
miles <- miles + step
message("I walked ", step, " miles (total: ", miles, ")")
if (miles >= goal) {
message("Reached ", goal, " miles — fell down at your door.")
break
}
}
return(miles)
}

I would code 500 lines
And I would code 500 more
Just to be the one who coded 1,000 lines
instead of writing function at_your_doh_oh_or()

duh-duh-duh-duht-duh 🙃🤪🤣

Have you ever started working in Python and then felt... stuck?

Check out @juliasilge.com's recommendations from her talk, "How I got unstuck with Python", at posit::conf(2025)!

The recording will be on the Posit YouTube channel soon 🤗

I just refound this classic meme 😂

A little bit of self-promotion, I @ivelasq3.bsky.social will be giving a talk on Positron for RStudio Users!

Hoping to share some perspectives, extensions, and other tips in case you're interested in exploring Positron.
