I'm not sure its a golden bullet. I've been bitten by joins many times. In general, suggest you always do some hard validation check of rows / expected outcomes after doing joins.

are you using dplyr join verbs? if yes then they do a good job of letting you know if you one many-to-many errors etc.

another option is to use tidylog's join verbs, it will print a summary of the joins for you

Thanks to @cghlewis.bsky.social for reminding me

what do you mean by diagnose? eg how many rows match in y vs x or if there are duplicates, etc?

when printing a command line prints with {cli} in @quarto.org, the color format washes away -- does anyone know how to keep it?

eg. this is what prints in my terminal -- but this is what shows up in my quarto document

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

If you use full_join() to bring together two datasets and then plan to compare numeric columns between two datasets, make sure to use replace_na() to replace missing values with zero otherwise you will miss where there are blanks.
