Quotes of the Week

#RStats — I just discovered the "Rename in scope" option from @rstudio, that allows you to rename all the variables with the same name (and just the variables) from a script in just one shot 😱
[How to]
- Select a variable
- Go to: Code > Rename in scope
- Rename 🎉 pic.twitter.com/AJFEHpFGQb

I started with #rstats before the @tidyverse was really a thing and mostly switched to #Python except for a few specific uses. Relearning R now is like finding out someone did a secret makeover of my apartment and now I live in a castle.
