Love the intro video of #positconf2026! Happy to have contributed to a small part of it, by telling my story and my "what if".
Congrats to the team for the amazing work!

This tension isn't new, but it's becoming exacerbated in the era of generative AI, @simonpcouch.com & @sara-altman.bsky.social tells #PositConf2026
Every time @simonpcouch.com makes a great point in his #positconf2026 Keynote, his earring sparkles extra brightly in the stage lights. 🌟
Full day ahead. #positconf2026
so is everyone else at #PositConf2026 using a VPN? 🤔
I wish everyone attending #positconf2026 a great week while I let the stream play in the background
I’ll be presenting our work on #ggsql today at #PositConf2026
It will be lovely and whimsical and I hope you’ll join both if your are new to ggsql or have been following along since the spring
Main positconf::(2026) #positconf2026 conference starts today, with sessions on #Rstats and #Python (including issues in the age of AI) as well as the Quarto technical publishing platform & more.
Attending virtually (what I'm doing this year) is $99 [$49 for students/educators]

For #positconf2026 folks: Houston natives might kill me, but I'm a fan of Pappasito's which is connected to the Hilton. A little overpriced, but I get the large tortilla soup ($12) with chicken and avocado ($17).* My fave drink, The Wave, a mix of margarita and sangria.**
My first time attending #positconf2026, and I wish I had something positive to say. The largest t-shirt size being XL seems a bit short-sighted. I think 1984 was the last time I could wear that size. 😆🤪
Oh, here's something positive: check-in was smooth and easy.
enjoying the new options for pimping your #positconf2026 nametag, these ribbons are fun!

Okay last #positconf2026 chirp before I take off for Houston:
I'm going to pop up an unofficial "aRts and cRafts" table at lunch tomorrow (Tues). Come by to make #rstats logo earrings/keychains!
Seriously I have over 100 and my suitcase is very heavy, please take them. 😝

Every year throughout the year I say "let's meet up at conf!" to people.
I mean it 100% sincerely but I am terrible at keeping track of things.
If you'll be at #positconf2026 and want to make sure we hang out in meatspace at some point, shoot me a message? 🙏
Can't wait to see my Rfriends!!! 🤩
Attended the first virtual day for #PositConf2026
Loved the talks on being a Data Polyglot, importance of accessibility being the default and how notebooks came into being and why they're important going ahead. Waiting for the Modelling session that begins in another 5! See you there 😀
Been so busy almost forgot to get my virtual ticket for #positconf2026. 😅
I'm in Houston for #PositConf2026 but not attending any workshops, and am trying to remember that practicing my talk counts as doing something (even if I take breaks between runs-through). Stop trying to give yourself extra homework, Jon!
We’re at posit::conf(2026) in Houston 👋
Myles Mitchell, Amieroh Abrahams and Colin Gillespie are there all three days, so come and say hello if you’re around.
You can also find us at the Jumping Rivers virtual booth.
