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):

#RStudioConf #RStats #PyData

I've mixed feelings about how this might impact me personally (a lot of my work probably SHOULD be in🐍 #PyData, but I found #RStats easier, even for not-usually-R use cases). Having this community along for the ride if I end up switching can't hurt!

After the news, @juliasilge & @topepos spoke about {tidymodels}.

I think 🔘 github.com/stevenpawley/r… was the only new-to-me thing in there, but it looks intriguing! I'll save {vetiver} thoughts for later in this 🧵.
#RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

I went to the {tidymodels} track next.

@hfcfrick led with censored.tidymodels.org, which adds survival analysis to the framework. SA isn't just 💀, & someday I'll apply this to things like student retention. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Then it was @Emil_Hvitfeldt with 🎈 github.com/EmilHvitfeldt/…

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552313346988412928

I love this extension to the idea of {tidymodels}! I'm pretty certain I have multiple use cases lined up. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

And then finally the big one (for me): @isabelizimm with 🏺 vetiver.rstudio.com (huh, I didn't notice before that that's rstudio-level, not tidymodels)

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552318619320782849

The art was adorable, and this package MIGHT be 🪄 magic... #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

...but the examples stopped before actually putting it onto a server. I see 🏺vetiver.rstudio.com/get-started/de… though so I think the 🪄 magic is there waiting for me! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

After lunch I got to the Data Quality track a little late (oops). No notes thread for @meghansharris, but her slides are at 🚰 github.com/Meghansaha/pip… #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats (how is there no pipe emoji???)

Then we had @JimKloet with 🗑️ garbage data

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552351539934674944

Well, I guess WITHOUT garbage data was the point. Get rid of it. It'll waste time and energy and lead you down incorrect paths. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

And then @_TanHo helped us make projects immortal with GHA and GH Releases!

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552355919916400645

Tan's awesome and I'd heard bits of this before, but I never absorbed how easy he's helping to make it via PRs to 🐖 github.com/ropensci/piggy… #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

After that I ran to Robust R Deployments by David Maguire🏃‍♂️

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552362274811248641

It was good to see a formal walkthrough of some divisions in the CI/CD (+Cluster Computing) pipeline to help organize my thoughts for my Deployment Quest. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Next the 🤖 Machine Learning track, with an ethics talk by @zkajdan

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552373736824791040

This one was hard for me with the key example being EdTech, which I *think* I'm in for good, and I have things to think about to check if, well... #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Then @markjrieke introduced 🥾 cran.r-project.org/package=workbo…

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552379013821349893

It helps you turn point estimates into prediction intervals (in some cases) and looks pretty great! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Then @awunderground talked about 💭 generating fake data. The package is currently private, but I really love the overall idea here (start with a stratifier, build model to predict most-correlated var, continue through to all vars). #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Finally @jcheng closed the day with the Past and Future of 🌟 #RShiny (spoiler alert: and #PyShiny).

https://twitter.com/JonTheGeek/status/1552390853498474501

This talk was amazing and heartfelt. Big news: PyShiny & Visual UI Creator... #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats #PyData

Even though I predicted the big 🐍🌟 #PyShiny news, it somehow caught me off guard. I think it'll be great but I'm super jealous of serverless deploy, and I worry that they're stripping away reasons for people to learn #RStats. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #PyData #RShiny

I'll summarize Day 2 in a separate 🧵 (will link under here when that one's done)! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Day 2:

To clarify... I think this is likely all just nerves, not anything actually bad. But the nerves are there.
