@hrbrmstr thanks! This is helpful!
@hrbrmstr what are you using for front-end frameworks these days? Is it something R-specific?
@kjhealy "We'd like to extend a special welcome to our Tungsten-Level passengers, who will be taped to the wing. Stay safe out there."
@kjhealy were you a fan? Ragin and Becker helped me a lot when I started publishing case studies.
@hadleywickham @kellybodwin Not sure whether this matters, but coding typefaces that support ligatures (for example, Fira Code) further exaggerate the visual difference between <- and < -. The symbols that result from typing each respective expression are, I would argue, quite different. For that reason, I would contend that those symbols not causing confusion might, in some cases at least, be attributable to an exaggerated visual difference due to ligatures.
@harlanh you mean this whole time I could have asked you to visit my data science classes? 😇
@hrbrmstr they make blueberry sausage?!?
@gvwilson I think I once saw Patrick McKenzie advise if they want an expectation and force you to put a number, put 1. If you get to the negotiation phase, you can talk more about whether your/their expectation is reasonable without pinning yourself to a number.
@ben any chance you could send me a pre-print of this?
Are there any #rstats academics (or recovering academics) out there who are using Rmarkdown/Quarto to generate their curricula vitae? I'm having some trouble with Nick Strayer's data-driven cv package and I'm wondering if there's an easier way. @kellybodwin @kjhealy @travisgerke

Struggling a lot to find maker time these days and it's really having an impact. To be a researcher you need to be a reader, and you need to iterate, and you need to design....we're not vending machines of insight that people can just line up to put quarters into. But it does feel like research gets treated that way sometimes!

This is probably the best thing I ever posted on Twitter. The memory is pretty dear to me; I'm sharing it here so it still exists somewhere if that place collapses.
@shriramk that sounds like an interesting paper! I've been trying to find examples of professional programmers solving problems outside of contrived laboratory settings. Could you share the citation info?
@gruber which Markdown editor is that in your screenshot?
@isabelizimm Which method do you use to publish? The "check the generated site files into version control" method or the "use CI to build the site on commit pushes" method?
