Dan Quintana (@dsquintana; 231/61): GitHub Copilot autocompletes your code snippets. You can also type in plain language what you want to do (e.g., “create a density plot with variables X and Y”) and it will suggest code. And yes, this works with #Rstats.

This is going to be a game changer https://t.co/jn7q1x0LIa ↪
