30 Days of Charts – Day 2: Slope
Did you ever tried running or biking up Rue du Mystère in Brussels? A street with a slope of 11.3%
It might not look daunting on a graph, but trust me, it's a challenge when you are out there!

30 Days of Charts — Day 1 - Fractions
Education on the Rise
In Brussels, the share of young adults (aged 25–34) with a higher education diploma has steadily increased over the past 20 years. Rising from 46% in 2004 to 60% in 2024.

30Days of Charts starts tomorrow, and I'm excited to join #30DayChartChallenge again!
This year, I’m aiming for 10 charts throughout the month.
To stay efficient, I’ll set a 60-minute timer for each chart—otherwise, I tend to spend way too long fine-tuning the details.

Here is a cool little function for R that lets you check if all of the loaded packages are actually necessary for the code that follows, letting you cut down on unneeded packages. Really helpful for grading student code too, since this is a common error!
