Quotes of the Week

👯 I keep opening the same #RStudio Project twice because I am foolish. So I wrote an #RStats function to tell me when I'm being foolish.

#RStats tip that I got from @gavinprm and now use daily. If you want to close all your @rstudio source files, except the one you're on, use Ctrl + Alt +Shift +W. No more closing every single script and view to clean things up.
