Thanks Jenny!

The me from 2020 didn't know that 😅. But it's great that you clarified it! I've just been playing a bit with Adobe Express clip maker to make these clips. Though first I had to remove filler words and pauses :P

In any case, I love #reprex and want to spread the love around =)

That's exactly why you need to include the library() statements showing which packages you're actually using 💡. I emphasized that all of this - the whole #reprex approach - is simply about making it easier for other people to help you faster⚡🤝. These are the main advantages of the reprex package! ✨👍🏽

I explained why including context is crucial 📚! I pointed out that someone could just paste code like "GRanges from 1 to 1000 plus..." but then I would be confused 😕 asking "where does this function come from? What package is this from?" 📦❓

I demonstrated running a #reprex in a fresh #RStats session 💻 & opened it in my browser 🌐. It showed the 📦 loading with all its messages, then the function itself. I pointed out that I had made a syntax error: I missed the colon before the plus sign ➕❌, which caused an error

Prepare Reproducible Example Code via the Clipboard Convenience wrapper that uses the rmarkdown package to render small snippets of code to target formats that include both code and output. The goal is to encourage the sharing of small, reproducible, a...

I emphasized this is way better than screenshots 📸❌ since you can't copy code from those. That's the core idea of the #reprex package 📦✨!

I then broke down what #reprex() does behind the scenes 🔧: it recognizes which parts are code vs. console prompts (like the > symbols), reruns everything in a fresh R session 🔄, captures the output, and creates a tiny temporary website 🌐 that makes it super easy to copy-paste.

#RStats

I explained how the reprex workflow helps with collaboration 🤝! I described a scenario where I ask a question about why the mean is 2.5 and not 3, and Nina wants to help by running the same code 💻. She can easily copy-paste the #reprex output and it actually runs ✅!

I demonstrated how to use the #reprex package 📦! I loaded it and explained the workflow: I copied lines of code from my console (pretending Leo has a question ❓), then ran the reprex() function without any arguments 💻.

They believe it should be easy for others to help them ❓ But I pointed out this approach has issues, which is why I introduced the #reprex package 📦 as the solution to make getting help easier! ✨

I explained how a common problem makes it harder for people to get help 😤. People often think they've provided everything needed - posting their code online 💻, showing how to recreate objects, sharing all the code they ran, and even including the output 📊.

I explained the common problem people encounter when asking for coding help 🤔. I showed how someone might copy code they ran, paste it, ask a question. I was setting up to explain what's wrong with this approach ❌ of sharing code for troubleshooting purposes💻 #RStats #reprex @jennybryan.bsky.social

I re-edited this 2020 video using Adobe Premier Pro's features for removing filler words, pauses, and text-based editing. In total it went down from 20:53 min to 12:41. I hope that you get to (re-)enjoy it ^_^.

While I generally (out of principle) stay away from tidy this made me chuckle out loud.
