- One thing that’s helping me on my polyglot journey is using small visual things that make my brain feel “at home” after seven years in R and the tidyverse. Emojis in my test results do exactly that. testthat will always be my ride-or-die, but pytest-emoji is fun. 🐍 pypi.org/project/pyte...

- Reposted by Meghan Harris, MPHMy talk from posit::conf earlier this fall on getting unstuck with #Python is now available to watch! - Ten years ago, I attempted to learn Python and it went EXTRMELY badly 😩 - I am really happy that so much tooling in this area has improved SO much since then 😌 youtu.be/pMVYl9fx1EE

- POV of me: Learning the hard way how important indentation is in Python... and then discovering extensions exist to visualize control flow chunks. You know. After the fact. 🫠

- Reposted by Meghan Harris, MPHI'm excited to share side::kick(), an experimental open-source coding agent for RStudio built entirely in R. It can interact with your files, communicate with your active #rstats session, and run code. Check it out: github.com/simonpcouch/...
- PSA: If you see someone learning in public, maybe don’t lead with ‘wow you really are a beginner.’ We know. That’s why we’re learning. In public. To help others who are also learning. Gatekeeping and condescension helps no one. Also, did Mastodon get toxic all of a sudden, or is it my algo?! 😅

- Been getting comfy in Python lately. Made this with Pillow. It was fun, clunky, and sprinkled with a lil' scrutinized vibe code 😅. “Pythonic” docs still trip me up (tidyverse spoiled me), but I’d love to help make them feel more approachable as I build in python more. Code: tinyurl.com/2ec7v6fn
