Post-coffee it's @zkajdan Dissecting the quick fix #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats Sigrid on stage with Hannah Frick, preparing to present
Examples of tech solutionism: fix gun violence via surveillance (not gun control), solve climate change by moving to Mars. She wants to help us focus on how to REALLY fix things. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
Often tech solutionism focuses on a problem that we're terribly scared about #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
A framework of Ws:
What does the solution do?
Where, when, and to whom will the solution be applied?
How is it being applied?
Who is implementing it?

Now that #RStudioConf2022 is over and I've had some time to process, it's time for a 🧵 to look back and summarize my copious notes. Hopefully this can be useful to someone other than just me! #RStudioConf #RStats #PyData
Before the conf proper, I TAed the 🔮 {tidymodels} workshop. Because @rstudio / #Posit are who they are, all workshop materials are free and open via github.com/rstudio/rstudi… (github.com/rstudio-conf-2… in case that link ever breaks) #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
#RStudioConf2022 proper kicked off with a pre-keynote announcement from @fly_upside_down & @hadleywickham. As you've probably heard, @rstudio is now #Posit 💭. My thread (with old hashtag):

When I heard the tune 📦was coming but github.com/tidymodels/tune was a 404, I set up something to check it every couple hours then beepr::beep when it wasn't a 404 anymore 😁 #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats Eye emoji watching various ...
