- Terminal news I updated this to include posit events and podcast, in addition to the blog posts already included. This Claude agent skill might be the coolest way to stay informed :) For me, I set up an agent to run this skill so it will have its own context and not interfere with main Claude

- If you don't want Claude to load all this great #RStats content for each session, try asking Claude Code to deconstruct this content into distinct skills. On first pass it did not add required YAML headers, so needed second pass with those instructions. Here are the skills I ended up with.
- 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...
- For now, they are in my github at github.com/jeremy-allen... with a slightly different structure than screenshotted above. I got Sarah's blessing to add them to Posit's public claude skills repo, so I'll work on that next. Thanks Sarah!

- Can an $35 external controller from the brewing industry keep my cheap beverage fridge alive after its internal thermostat broke? I am going to find out. Target temp at 37. The controller will shut off the fridge when the temp gets down to 35. Once back up to 39, it restores power.
