#rstats Please welcome Jarl, a new R linter.
Jarl is a CLI tool with extensions in VS Code, Positron, and Zed. It can check thousands of lines of R code in milliseconds.
Jarl provides several output formats, a Github Actions workflow, and more.

I'm reminded of how handy the usethis::browse_*() functions are and thought I'd remind people they exist. Choose from a menu of links or go straight to CRAN or GitHub. #rstats

One thing that’s helping me on my polyglot journey is using small visual things that make my brain feel “at home” after seven years in R and the tidyverse.
Emojis in my test results do exactly that. testthat will always be my ride-or-die, but pytest-emoji is fun. 🐍 pypi.org/project/pyte...

Listen, I love fun. I love memes, emojis, gifs, and it’s still a wonder how I’ve fooled most of you into thinking I’m a professional…but please..oh please, NO ✋🏾
No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

My talk from posit::conf earlier this fall on getting unstuck with #Python is now available to watch!
- Ten years ago, I attempted to learn Python and it went EXTRMELY badly 😩
- I am really happy that so much tooling in this area has improved SO much since then 😌

Nothing like a nice long flight for catching up on #30DayMapChallenge 🤪.
Here's Day 8 — urban — right on time. A map of Paris buildings by age of construction. A real beauty if I do say so myself. 😍

POV of me: Learning the hard way how important indentation is in Python... and then discovering extensions exist to visualize control flow chunks. You know. After the fact. 🫠

I'm excited to share side::kick(), an experimental open-source coding agent for RStudio built entirely in R. It can interact with your files, communicate with your active #rstats session, and run code.

PSA: If you see someone learning in public, maybe don’t lead with ‘wow you really are a beginner.’ We know. That’s why we’re learning. In public. To help others who are also learning. Gatekeeping and condescension helps no one. Also, did Mastodon get toxic all of a sudden, or is it my algo?! 😅

Been getting comfy in Python lately. Made this with Pillow. It was fun, clunky, and sprinkled with a lil' scrutinized vibe code 😅. “Pythonic” docs still trip me up (tidyverse spoiled me), but I’d love to help make them feel more approachable as I build in python more. Code: tinyurl.com/2ec7v6fn
