Danielle Navarro (@djnavarro.net; 38/3/10; 2026-03-21): Decided that the time has come to wrap up the series of #rstats art pieces I’ve been posting recently. As usual, the pieces themselves are released under CC-BY licence, and the source code is linked to from the gallery page


Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 34/8/3; 2026-03-20): knowing multiple programming languages makes one thing specifically challenging for me: remembering which syntax to use for an if statement or loop in the language I’m using 😂

Is there a space here? Is this an indent or, wait, I’m in #Rstats, it’s curly braces - do I need parens? yes. wait. yes.


Nicola Rennie (@nrennie.bsky.social; 30/1/4; 2026-03-21): A few more tweaks to chart types, styling, and syntax for {ggauto}:

📊 Lines/points/text all scale together
➡️ Pipe in unquoted variable names
🎨 Better styling for line and scatter plots

Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 29/2/6; 2026-03-20): Want to watch @hadley.nz doing code stuff live with us but can’t actually make it live? Our last #DSLab with Hadley is up on YouTube!

Plus, if you’ve been curious about what #PositAssistant looks like in #RStudio, he’s using it in this one. #rstats #databs

Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 20/1/3; 2026-03-20): Also, using the UI is the MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY I’ve ever been able to stash and pop changes. It’s so niiiiice!

Heres a fun game: count how many times I mention git making me cry (in the past) in this video 😂 #positron #databs #GitHub #Git #rstats #pydata

Chris Kenny, PhD (@chriskenny.bsky.social; 12/3/3; 2026-03-20): Doing a lot of testing of AI agents with my team these days. Pulled together a new package, wf, which helps install and manage agent skills from within #rstats

(A great time to be at Princeton DDSS; our team has an intro to Claude workshop today and an intro to Posit Assistant workshop next week!)


Peter Ellis (@freerangestats.info; 11/1/2; 2026-03-22): I have blogged at more length than usual on Pacific #demography issues, tying together with narrative the charts produced in six #rstats posts starting late last year. The theme is the obvious that people movement is critically important in the Pacific. freerangestats.info/blog/2026/03…


Matan Hakim (@matanhakim.bsky.social; 9/5/2; 2026-03-21): Question for the #rstats and @posit.co community:
What is the best workflow for using Claude Code inside Positron?

I love Positron for R package dev, Shiny dashboards, and everyday data analysis. I tried Positron Assistant with the Claude API — great but too expensive for daily use.
