I added Air to Positron a few days ago and honestly can’t imagine how I lived without it. As someone who compulsively hits save, having my code auto-styled instantly is just chef’s kiss 😙🤌

Always wanted to know how to augment an LLM chat with your own content (aka RAG)? I wrote a blog post that shows how to play around with this in #rstats without subscribing to a vector database provider - I'm so grateful for #ellmer and #duckdb 😍 blog.tidy-intelligence.com/posts/rapid-...

New #rstats pkg gander is now on CRAN! gander is a coding assistant that knows how describe the objects in your global R environment. So, when you're working with data, LLMs will know the names, types, and distributions of data columns, resulting in much more effective completions.

Why does @weare.rladies.org have less than 1000 followers? We can do better than this #rstats folks. It is a terrific account to follow because every week not only we get to know a new member of the #RLadies community but we also get to read their R favorites, tips, and jokes.

People ask me why I don’t have more followers. I tell them it’s hard to follow Julia packages because we’re too fast.

Great read! I still remember the moment during my internship in 2015 when my advisor excitedly shared the dplyr vignette with me. It was then that I realized programming could actually be fun 🥹
