Lol, I'm like that too, oof

Continuing this thread about discovering #Positron... I turned it into a longer #Substack piece about what it means to return to communities and hobbies that became complicated after #trauma.

Today on my #Substack, I wrote about the very real realities of living as a #disabled person (I write a lot because that's what I do to process). A lot of TMI here. (I'm currently very sick.)

All this to say: I'm excited to try #Positron. And maybe actually post about my work again. Baby steps. #RStats #datascience #Posit #RStudio #Python #statistics

For personal reasons, I've felt disconnected from the #RStats community for the past few years. Don't get me wrong, I've used #RStudio plenty, and I've learned how to write Quarto documents! But seeing a shiny tool like this makes me want to re-engage more fully (as my energy allows). #datascience

The shift (for #posit) to supporting both R and Python makes sense. In my day job, I use both (and others too!). But there's something nostalgic about #RStudio being so unapologetically #R-first. It made a whole community feel seen. #RStats

#RStudio (the IDE) was *not* my gateway into programming (I started with Java, MATLAB, and SAS). But I learned R in RStudio, wrote my dissertation analyses in it, and used it for much of my statistical work. It (and the evolving R package ecosystem) shaped how I think about data work. #datascience

Because that's literally what we do as data scientists: posit a claim, then evaluate it with data. It captures the scientific process and the iterative nature of our work beautifully. #RStats #Python #datascience #posit

From JJ Allaire's and Hadley Wickham's post in 2022 (posit.co/blog/rstudio...), I love that they pointed out that "posit" means "to put forth an idea for discussion." #posit #RStats #datascience

Are there any other #RStats peeps doing #AdventOfCode 2025 this year? Also, how are people sharing their solutions (other than GitHub links)? I have used carbon.now.sh in the past. #carbon_app #AdventOfCode2025
