Tough day, but you know what they say: “Don't cry because it's over. Cry because your laptop is about to be factory reset, and despite saving all the dotfiles and configs, you just know that it's gonna take you forever to get your dev environment right.” 😭

🫤 Unfortunately, I was affected by last week's layoffs at @posit_pbc along with a handful of other talented colleagues. 🖤 I’m bummed, but so grateful for the 5½ yrs w/ my incredible team. 🔍 Taking some time to recoup, but will be on the hunt for new opportunities soon!

While teaching an #rstats workshop, a student suggested I use the updated version of the separate function in tidyr. I'm impressed! What I show below, is a pretty common need.

No food for mini Winnie this morning because she has surgery (teeth and eyes—no-emergency), and Scuppers and I are fasting in solidarity until *after* I drop her off. The doggos definitely HAVE NOT noticed, and aren't being EXTREMELY melodramatic about it. 🫠
