How lucky am I that these 2 agreed to join me not just at DS Lab to share #Positron settings, but now TODAY @ the Hangout to share about their dev jobs! Let's be real, we're all Brandon Sanderson #Cosmere nerds, too, that's gonna come up 😂 Join us @ 12PM ET! pos.it/dsh #databs #rstats #python

I’m a big fan of the Positron IDE, so when @rachaeldempsey.bsky.social‬ asked me to provide a testimonial, I didn’t hesitate 🙏

A testimonial quote on a dark blue background. The text reads: “Positron feels like stepping into the future of data science. I work in both R and Python daily, and switching between projects has never been easier. With built-in version control, a lightning-fast data explorer, and automatic code formatting, my workflow is pure joy — building apps, packages, reports, or teaching materials has never felt this seamless.” — Christoph Scheuch, Founder, Tidy Intelligence.

🧵 I've been talking to a lot of people about #tidytuesday / #pydytuesday. Here's an observation I want to discuss: the majority of people who want to participate in the social aspect online, but don't, hold back because they're afraid of looking dumb, unimpressive, or otherwise silly. #databs

okay, what’s the big deal with the new #PositronIDE??? here’s my quick pitch for you to try it out 🛸 - view big data quickly with the data explorer - fully featured console + plots + variables + connections pane - view parquet, csv, csv.gz data in 1 click - preview quarto/app output inside the IDE

I've never used DuckDB, mostly because I haven't had a need for it (we don't all have the same needs!). Can anyone help me understand the problem DuckDB solves for them and let me ask them dumb questions? I get the chance to talk with the creator of DuckDB (and so will you) and I'm excited! #DataBS
