LLMs have been the most disruptive change in my +10 years of teaching data skills - for better and for worse. Students use LLMs to ask questions, debug code, and sometimes do entire assignments. They're great, but too often are abused to shortcut real learning. How are they used in your classes?

My day 1 #useR2025 highlight was the Positron class, I’m officially a convert now. 🤓 Why? 🐇 Positron is fast! ⌨️ RStudio keybindings 🎨 Command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) to find any IDE feature 🏡 Remote-SSH runs code on my home server, anywhere! 🤖 The Positron Assistant integration is seamless #rstats

🎉 WOMBAT is a fantastic event and I'm proud to be co-organising it this year. It's a great opportunity for us to share the latest open-source software and techniques among data analysts from academic, industry, and government.
