How excited am I allowed to be about Josh Starmer of #StatQuest joining us on the #DSHangout this week?! BECAUSE I AM EXCITED!

Josh makes me feel seen bc we both love explaining stats stuff in friendly ways, helping folks, & not taking ourselves too seriously

Q from the #DSHangout: How much does the dev team at Posit get involved in contributing to base R?

A from @davisvaughan.bsky.social: We do join Dev Days, & have sent in a number of patches over the years of varying size (Gabor did ALTLISTs, for example).

(See comment below for example!) #rstats

EXCELLENT (abridged) un-answered Q from our #DSHangout yesterday:

Advice for getting involved in contributing to an open-source pkg? I worry abt my code style & don't know if contribs are wanted.

@davisvaughan.bsky.social says, we always want contribs! code-review.tidyverse.org

Today's #DSHangout was SO FUN, and I got SO many messages from people saying they'd enjoyed the heck out of it!!

The secret sauce? We let ourselves just be the nerds we are 😂

We talked about Cosmere, Keyboards, and Cons. Of course, the data/dev stuff, too, but.... 🤓

TOMORROW! Join me on the #DSHangout with @tanho.ca to chat all about... whatever you want! Great topics: R in Production, sports analytics, open source dev work, and pumpkin carving 🎃 ❤️

I plan on asking about my fave: working out loud!

Is #Positron going to replace #RStudio? 😱 (This is the worry I keep hearing lately 👀)

Posit Software Architect @jmcphers.bsky.social says, "there are certainly no plans to get rid of RStudio."

Does it look like I'm saying, "One does not simply walk into Mordor" or nah

Listen, I gotta keep myself entertained while uploading videos 😂 🤌🏼 #DSHangout (This is from Lisa Elkin of Pfizer's episode, and it will be out soon on the #Posit YouTube channel's hangout playlist!) #databs

Does Jenny Bryan #VibeCode? 🤔

She shared on the Hangout that she's been thankful that she gets to learn #rust and #typscript in the age of #AI and these are her thoughts on #LLM use. (We really need a #RubberDuck emoji 🦆)

"Libby, I don't know how you host a live #DSHangout AND keep up with the chat AND read questions in slido AND talk on Slack at the same time!"

I was raised by AOL, my friend 💿 I was a teen in the 90s. I can maintain 6 simultaneous AIM convos 😎 Who knew it'd be a marketable skill?

#TidyTuesday got a big shout out from @cararthompson.bsky.social and me today on the #dsHangout - TidyTuesday is whatever you want it to be, but more than anything, it's a crowd-sourced collection of data sets stored as CSV files that you can practice with, TEACH with, & post about! A new one weekly

Jessica from Census truly was great, and hearing about an org dedicated to backing a move from SAS to R/Python and the cloud (securely) was really cool. The hangout attendees really hit it out of the park with their questions today #databs #dshangout
Attending posit weekly data science hangout and it's a WEALTH of information this week, Jessica Klein is amazing #datasky
