I’m grateful to the R community and everyone who helped me along the way. My hope is that this book helps people spend less time on manual work and gives them greater autonomy over their time and attention. Still a little surreal to see it in the Chapman & Hall/CRC R Series. 🎉 5/5 · #RStats

Automation looks different today with AI. AI can dramatically accelerate execution, but good automation still starts with finding the right opportunity, understanding the process, and deciding what to automate and how. As execution gets easier, those fundamentals become even more valuable. 4/5

That experience shaped the book: start with the task or problem, not the package. “How can I stop combining these files manually?” “How can I turn this analysis into something others can use?” “How can I automatically generate and send this report?” Then find the right solution. 3/5

I was introduced to R 12 years ago, largely left it behind, and returned a few years later through a corporate R training. I saw opportunities to take repetitive work off people’s plates, so I set a goal: save 1,000 hours of work in one year. Those efforts eventually saved 20,000+ hours. 2/5

📘 It’s official: my first book, Work Automation with R, is published! I started with a simple belief: you don’t need to be an R expert to build useful automation with R. I certainly wasn’t one when I started. 📖 www.routledge.com/Work-Automat... 1/5 #RStats #RProgramming

This talk by @tigertang.bsky.social is my favorite of #positconf2026 so far, and is going in my "instant classics" pile: tigertang.org/posit_2026/ It's a super clear, actionable framework for how learning happens and how AI can be used to help not hinder. ✨

Thank you so much, Kelly! This means a lot. It was nice to see how much our talks connected. It made me even more confident in the framework. 😊

Thanks, Yann! Right now, it only works in html. PDFs strip the footer out, so a print-friendly version is on my list for the next version. Also, love the within-count idea. perfect for long decks. I've added it to the v0.2.0 roadmap!

That’s a great idea. I’ll watch for feedback, and a Quarto extension could be the next step.
