"You can easily..."
"It's just..."
"Clearly..."
"And then simply..."
We mean: "I want to encourage you!"
A reader might think: "It's not simple or clear or easy for me! Why don't I 'just' understand it like the writer? Everything is hard. I suck."

Definitely will be trying this out in the near future! When I first started coding, I quickly realized that finding resources to help learn from my ERRORS was essential 👩🏿💻
R package "searcher" that automatically searches Stackoverflow for error that you just saw in the console. Cool package, especially for those who learn R :) github.com/coatless/searcher #r #rlang #rstats #rstudio

New project:
A “Bar Chart Race” animation showing the changing ranks of the 10 biggest cities in the world since 1500.
Fascinating to watch giant cities vanish after falling in conquests, and amazing that three UK cities were in the top 8 in the late 1800s.
Can’t think of a better way to start a Saturday than attending a workshop on building packages with R 👩🏿💻. Thank you @RLadiesChicago, @CivicAngela, & @data_stephanie for hosting and @R_Forwards for sponsoring!

“If you are confused, it is only because you are trying to understand.” - @rlmcelreath in Statistical Rethinking
Very insightful talk from Karen Grace-Martin at @analysis_factor explaining complex concepts to non-statisticians. Her clarity in explanations gave me a deeper understanding of interactions, odds ratios, and multilevel models all in under than 30 minutes. #CSP2019
Great #csp2019 kickoff with keynote from @hadleywickham! I learned some tips to reading r like:
%>% pipe translates to then &
-> assignment translates to create
Plus enjoyed hearing thoughts on why coding is important. #rstats

What do all successful people have in common? They don't condition on the dependent variable when modeling success.
Hmm interesting article related to polling. I feel like a lot stories focus on data that’s collected but this story points to the implication of questions being asked.
Not a good look for the NFL.

Ever run into a library error and wished you could go back in time to when things worked? The new 1.0.4 release of RStudio Package Manager supports this type of time traveling, and you don't even need a DeLorean!
