I'm hoping you'll join our session on Strengthening the R Ecosystem at posit::conf(2025) on the Thursday morning! Find out about the hottest new thing in the tidyverse: "purrrfectly parallel, purrrfectly distributed" (yes, it's something about cats). #rstats #tidyverse #PositConf2025 pos.it/conf

I'm speaking at posit::conf(2025) in Atlanta Sept 16-18

More #rstats + OpenTelemetry news: @schloerke.com finally got all of the async issues in {ellmer} and {shiny} sorted out and tracing now works! Here's what combining {shiny} + {ellmer} + {httr2} + {mirai} + {otel} looks like today. (All credit for the screenshots to @schloerke.com.)

A screenshot showing the Logfire tracing UI with traces from a Shiny app using ellmer, httr2, and mirai on the left and some attributes on the right.

A Shiny chatbot with a conversation about the weather in Atlanta, GA. It clearly serves as the source of the traces in the first image.

{otel} + #rstats is becoming a crazy partnership. This project has driven me to use/write {promises} in ways that makes my 🧠 ache 😅. The reward is worth it! See you at #PositConf2025 where I'll talk about this in more detail

I was loving Claude Code... until I tried it with #rstats. Constant errors, wouldn't use the tidyverse even when asked, "optimized" functions were slower. Frustrated, I started a session just to teach R to Claude and summarize what it learned into a CLAUDE.md file gist.github.com/sj-io/3828d6...

#rstats Can someone explain the meaning of these prefixes in commit messages? "docs" is clear enough, but what do "feat", "chore", and "fledge" mean? This is from a screenshot of commit messages in the {duckplyr} repo.

As far as I’m concerned, #webr and #shinylive is indistinguishable from magic. I can’t believe that since first installing #quarto-webr a few hours ago till now, I’ve gotten a relatively complicated #shinyapp exported, deployed, and running serverless. This is magic. #rstats
