I'm writing a blog post on making high-quality reports with Quarto and Typst like the ones we recently made for the Johns Hopkins University International Vaccine Access Center. Anything in particular you want to know about how we make reports like these? #rstats

I tried using AI to help me "speed up" my writing process. I hated every second of it. (I know, "duh") I dislike reading AI slop, so I don't use AI to write stuff that isn't code. But, while I love writing, I am not fast at it, & I let ✨capitalism✨ convince me that I should maybe SPEED UP. 🧵 1/n

BTW this "Frequency Reduces Difficulty" post from @martinfowler.com is the origin of the mantra "if it hurts, do it more often" (at least, it's where I learned it). It's amazing how broadly this applies. martinfowler.com/bliki/Freque...

bliki: Frequency Reduces Difficulty

"If it hurts - do it more often". Good advice if the amount of pain raises exponentially with the time between actions, such as for integrating software.

I have an #rstats package idea that doesn't exist but I need for my work. So I decided to try something new. I fed Claude Opus 4 the state-of-the-art literature on this topic using Research. I had it craft the *ideal* prompt to pass to Claude Code to one-shot the package.

Bottles of Wayne Gretzky Baco Noir labelled "USA. Baco Noir. Depressing & Turncoating." Product description: "This Baco's rancid berry flavour offers the hint of a garbage bag used to hold the empties of after game brews. Pair with roast raccoon." $16.95

Bottles of Wayne Gretzky Chardonnay labelled "USA. Chardonnay. Acrid & treasony." Product description: "This mediocre Ontario Chardonnay reeks of betrayal. Expect hints of moral rot, fermentedin the casks of vast wealth. Pair with barbecued raccoon." $16.95.
