After getting called out for my basic R studio on Vizbuzz, I downloaded Positron this week to see what all the hype is about. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but so far it is pretty nifty!

Friends & I were just talking about what #Positron does "right out of the box," so here are some of my favorite things. Welcome to a messy folder 😂 don't judge #python #pydata #rstats #databs

- Data explorer (look through data even if it's not read in yet!)
- Environment variable pane
- Plot pane

It's never just been about the stats.

It's about helping people build their first model.
About unlocking access to some really cool tools and capabilities.

The CFBD Starter Pack drops Saturday.
It's not just a product but a launchpad.
