Quotes of the Week

I joined Twitter in 2022 to connect with other R programmers. A few months later, ownership transferred and I watched a mass exodus. 😭

But I hear there's no R community here? Not true.

A good place to start looking:

If you can write an R function you can make an API and you are already a backend web-dev. #rstatstwitter.com https://t.co/OxiNmGBjm2t.co ( twitter.com )

I can't remember the last time I renamed variables manually in #rstatstwitter.com. I always use my data dictionary for renaming! That way, if I ever need to update names in the future, I'm only updating once in my data dictionary, not in both my data dictionary and script. 🙌 pic.twitter.com/oP06OZAaU1t.co ( twitter.com )
