Yihui Xie (@yihui.org; 25/2/2; 2026-09-21): After a massive cleanup of knitr issues/PRs in the past few days, I can finally stop being jealousy of Will Landau for his zero open Github issues in {targets}: yihui.org/en/2026/09/k… For the record, he has one open issue at the moment and so do I (debating with myself whether I should close it). ↪

Tyler Morgan-Wall (@tylermw.com; 48/2/7; 2026-09-20): 2019: “I don’t want to learn Blender: I’m going to write my own renderer in R, so I never have to use a GUI and can write all my scenes as code!”
2026: “… and then you call raygui(), and you can explore and change your scene without writing any code at all!”

Brian Helsel (@bchelsel.bsky.social; 46/3/5; 2026-09-17): I just finished my first paper written entirely in Quarto, and it has changed how I think about the manuscript-writing process. If you’re not an #RStats or #Quarto user, the biggest benefit is that you can automate repetitive workflows. Here are 5 things that made my writing process more efficient. ↪
Luis D. Verde Arregoitia (@liomys.mx; 39/4/4; 2026-09-16): Gave my talk “Can I offer you a nice IDE in this trying time?” at #positconf earlier today and it went well

Tyler Morgan-Wall (@tylermw.com; 34/2/1; 2026-09-16): Me, at #positconf: “Yes, I too have found AI transformative for my #RStats workflow!”
The actual workflow: perfectly looping animated gifs. ↪
easystats (@easystats.github.io; 23/0/6; 2026-09-17): Fitted the model? Great, that was just step one. 🛠️
Learn how to extract the actual answers to your research questions (predictions, contrasts, slopes) using the {modelbased} modelisation-approach.

Donald Knuth was so confident of TeX– design frozen, vers 3.14, 3.145, only approaching \pi.
Enter: A newer kid on the block, “ratex”
