Last year's sessions are on YouTube. Here are three talks from #positconf 2025 that really resonated with me. Please share your favorites, too. #rladies

#positconf wrapped up last week in Houston. I couldn't attend this year, but I went in 2025. It was such a great experience! For those who attended this year: what are your biggest highlights? What should we look forward to when the talks are posted on YouTube? #rladies

Just added #positconf 2027 to jumpingrivers.github.io/meetingsR/ev....

I was going to add useR2027, but I couldn't find the dates. Does anyone have that info? #rstats

As a note, I was in the "Coding with LLMs" workshop at #positconf and I was very impressed with the output of Posit assistant with GLM 5.3 / Kimi (whatever it was). Knowing the statistics already and requesting specific analyses, it implemented exactly what I wanted at the cost of a few pennies

Finally (😅) updated my personal website to quarto! It’s been a long time coming but #positconf gave me the motivation I needed to finally just do it. Really pleased with the final layout and the info should be all up to date. Big thanks to those quarto devs out there

This is going to sound overly sentimental but I sometimes really underestimated the role community can play in motivation. I am social exhausted (whooo introvert life) from posit::conf but mentally inspired and motivation battery is replenished #positconf #positconf26

Putting on my sociology hat to build on what Tanya says: it’s important to “see” ourselves as a community, and having lost an online space where most gathered, conf is now the place where we are reflected back at ourselves and recognize ourselves as a community. Long live #positconf

post posit::conf(2026) or my flight isn't for another six hours should I just go to the airport or try to explore 🤔 #positconf #positconf2026

Each year I try to be constructive and helpful with my talks at #positconf but ended up complaining about:

- code comments (2024)
- spreadsheets (2025)
- IDEs + my dad fixing electronics with a kitchen knife (today)

I'll write up a recap of today (and... previous days....) later but
Next year, posit::conf(2027) will be in Seattle!
#positconf #positconf26

sad to not be covering this momentous #fed day as I’m at @posit.co #positconf, but Very glad to see the Fed balance sheet visualized in Hamid Shafiezadeh’s excellent presentation at the #rstats R nerds session 🤓, “When English Is Second, R Comes First”

Penultimate session time! Please know I chose attending this first talk solely on the title #positconf #positconf26

Gave my talk "Can I offer you a nice IDE in this trying time?" at #positconf earlier today and it went well

🤯 jay westreich made a localized version of geoguessr in #rstats called localguessr. awesome talk @posit.co #positconf & some great lessons about how R can help you explore your more whimsical projects (which I very much believe as well!)
