This is a travesty. Full stop.

Today is a good day for the Iranian people. May this bring in a new era ❤️

your entities and entity relationships should be the north star of app development, not an afterthought.

no one wants product feature soup.

Is this the year we submit our first ever posit conf talk submission? I thinkest yes.

Any tips from past speakers appreciated😊

I’m in good company here when it comes to sentiments about ICE. I’m horrified. I’m pissed. I’m outraged. I’m heartbroken. And in the middle of all these feelings it’s so tempting to point fingers and blame the people who voted for “him.” But what does this accomplish? It doesn’t change minds. It isolates. It makes people defensive. It deepens the divide. So let’s pivot. Let’s give them permission to change their minds. To opt out. To wake up. We need to unite. It’s the only way through.

Example of a task manager page that lists all outstanding completed and overdue tasks (value boxes pinned at the top), followed by filters (source, project/repo, assignee, and date range), and then a table of tasks.

Clicking on a task in the table triggers a pop up modal with more info about the task, with the ability to edit the description with a rich text editor. Option to add comments directly as well.

Building tools for myself 👷‍♀️

I project manage across tools - GitHub, Asana, SharePoint Lists, etc. Which makes it hard to quantify work and time block across clients.

Working on a "hub" to bring it all together and make life easier 😊

I used to think I was cool* Arguable if I ever was.

Geeks are the new cool kids. At least from my vantage point now 😊

A young woman dressed in a leather jacket and all black smiles behind a microphone on wooden stage as she holds her acoustic guitar. She’s a solo act, and soaks in the rush of finishing her first opening set. In the background, her cherry red semi hollow guitar cools off as it rests on a stand behind her.

2016. I used to be cool.

Accurate. I will spend a week on this just to save myself 20 minutes.

I'm insufferable, but in a fun way. Funsufferable.

and yes, i know {officer} is very handy (i'll take a package anyday over xml) - but there are some things that don't work with my use case. 🙃

i'm too lazy to update a powerpoint every month.

so i guess we're gonna learn how to work with xml in R so we can automate this sucker.

what lazy task is motivating you to learn new things today?

And despite it all, this is Tehran 🇮🇷

Late to the party (as usual) but Claude Code is pretty mind blowing.

Of course - back of my mind I'm also thinking of this scene from Silicon Valley....

My kitchen counter is adorned with various graphic and data viz books from Taschen including: “History of Information Graphics”, “Graphic Design Vol 2 1960 - Today”, “The Package Design Book” and “Understanding The World.”

Restoring my well of inspiration 📚📈

love when an enterprise saas company makes changes to their APIs without giving a girl a heads up.

guess we're in reactive plumbing mode today 👩‍🔧

Me (right) and my future wife, Kristen (left)

I offered her an end-of-year promotion and she said yes!

Could not think of a better way to start of this new year. Love you KK 😘

As a new homeowner, I feel myself entering my professional designer era 💅

It is a very expensive era…

#rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

A perk of being self-employed: no cringe corporate holiday parties.

Moving into new home this weekend. I have the opportunity to redecorate my office.

If I can make it happen, it would be really cool to put together an art wall with some pieces from #rstats artists.

Not all have online shops. TBD on logistics 🤔

Don’t jinx me and this new build 🤣

But this is really helpful advice. I’ve been putting together a monthly budget but a lot of it is random ball-parking. I may have to revisit my maintenance budget!

Oof yes, mortgage part of homeownership has its own learning curve, I’ve had to look up so many things!

Just learned about voluntary escrow for property taxes & insurance the other day…

Basic stuff is very important!

I don’t envy you in winter. But ask me how I’m feeling during summer or hurricane season in Florida 🙃

If you’re a homeowner, what are some things you wish you’d known early on?

Side-by-side comparison of two multi-panel bubble charts faceted by world region. The left column shows the default facet labels placed above each panel (“Africa”, “Americas”, “Asia”, “Europe”, “Oceania”). The right column shows the same charts, but the facet labels are moved inside each panel at the top-left using a negative margin. In the center, there is a title reading “Want to place your facet labels inside each panel?” with an arrow pointing right, followed by a short ggplot2 theme code snippet demonstrating how to move strip text inside the panel.

I ignored the strip.clip argument in #ggplot2 for way too long 😲

Combined with a small negative margin tweak, you can place facet labels inside each panel. A tiny trick that makes small multiples feel so much cleaner.

🔵 no manual coordinates
🔵 inherits theme styling
🔵 scales nicely when resizing

For the data folk out there doing all the thankless work that keep companies afloat:

- cleaning dirty data
- maintaining leaky pipes
- building out dashboards so ppl can export to Excel
- explaining why reports don't match, etc etc

I see you. I appreciate you. You are better than any AI tool.

Just for fun, I built some interactive visuals to follow the Warner Brothers bidding war drama.
