Anyone switched from #RStudio to #Positron for teaching? I'm moving to #Positron in my own usage and wondering if I should switch for my Data Analysis class. We only code in #RStats, but maybe #Positron is a long-term better tool for students to learn? Appreciate any thoughts/pointers to materials.

Useful posts like these are what I liked about the old Twitter. I'm glad some of it seems to come back on Bluesky
For only #rstats users and beginners maybe RStudio is still the better choice for now? More advanced or multi-language I would personally go with Positron. I'm transitioning in my own use but not yet in my teaching.

Would love to hear from experts like @andrew.heiss.phd and others if I missed (or misinterpreted) anything 😀
@yan-holtz.bsky.social does a lot of visualization stuff including I think d3js. Might be worth checking his website.

I don’t like to give advice to PhDs, in part because I felt like I got tons of conflicting advice myself, but…
… a PhD takes at least 4 years, a timeframe likely encompassing considerable AI gains. I would tell them to think in advance about what things it will change & how to use them in you favor
