This week on Counting Stuff, I dislike working on persona projects because they're usually started when there's a lot of -organizational level- nonsense going on. Plus they're technically nightmare fishing trips #dataBS

I have two mugs that are almost too huge to use, and they're both magnificent. This one makes my heart glow & is full of coffee. I guess it's vintage now! Or special edition? #rstats #databs #RStudio

(The other one is a Steven Universe mug covered in all the characters! It's almost a soup bowl 😂)
Libby's right hand holds a large white coffee mug that has the RStudio logo on it. The background is a white poster with North American bird species and illustrations on it.

What do you love about your data job? Like, what's the part of your job that, if someone took it away, you'd find another job?

It might even be the thing other people dislike!

For me, it's talking to people and helping them troubleshoot, feel safe/seen, and learn to code.

{shinyfa} is on CRAN 🎉 I’ll be chatting more about its origins in my talk this Thursday at R+AI conference!

I’m so happy to have more brain space back to think strategically about how to develop more #rstats packages with AI-assisted development!

Why is there a ceiling for data analyst career ladders?

In software engineering there is a concept of a “staff+ “ role that is still an independent contributor, but isn’t on the people management track.

Data Engineering and to an extent analytics engineering have this type of role.

new #dplyr filtering function who dis 😍 meet filter_out()!

👍 GO PUT A THUMBS UP ON DAVIS'S TIDYUP THINGY ON GITHUB TO SHARE MY ENTHUSIASMMMM!! #rstats #databs

And, you know, provide your thoughts on this newly-proposed function if you have them 😌
A screenshot of code that uses the dplyr function called filter, which is built to include rows, in order to exclude them instead. The result also filters out rows where values are NA, which isn't helpful usually. It then shows the messy code you'd need to use to not exclude those NAs, and compares it to some very clean code using a newly proposed function called filter_out, which does not exclude NAs. Libby has drawn silly illustrations all over this screenshot, like yucky faces for dropping NAs and a smily face saying, "new filtering function?"

You know how in #RStudio, it puts your branch name at the top? Like "project_name - branch - RStudio" (shown here)

I want that in #Positron 🤔 and I haven't found a popular extension for it. (I think there is one that works in VSCode, but not in Positron!)

Any ideas, #rstats #databs crew?
Screenshot showing Positron and RStudio open side by side on the same R project. The Positron window is on the left with a dark-themed interface, file explorer, and source control pane visible. The RStudio window on the right uses a dark theme, displaying the same project files and a script open in the editor. Both editors show identical project content, highlighting the differences in interface design between Positron and RStudio.

“Flexibility without fragmentation”

In addition to some solid alteration, it’s also a great explanation of how to build a data team and how your system can and should scale.

@colton.boo and Dennis Hume have an awesome new ebook on this topic, check it out!

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.

There a joke about data and metrics: "If a problem only shows up 3% of the time, a model can say that the problem never shows up and it will be 97% accurate."

The best practice solution to this sort of problem is to over-represent rare problems in your training set. #dataBS 📈📊

I got some questions about how I use my chess timer, and a video is just easier, so here you go!

Also, it's been nice to see the overlap between my #ADHD crowd and my #databs crowd. I keep using the #ADHData hashtag to include both, and I hope others will use it, too!
