I was loving Claude Code... until I tried it with
#rstats
. Constant errors, wouldn't use the tidyverse even when asked, "optimized" functions were slower. Frustrated, I started a session just to teach R to Claude and summarize what it learned into a

Can someone explain the meaning of these prefixes in commit messages? "docs" is clear enough, but what do "feat", "chore", and "fledge" mean? This is from a screenshot of commit messages in the {duckplyr} repo.

As far as Iโm concerned,
#webr
and
#shinylive
is indistinguishable from magic. I canโt believe that since first installing
#quarto-webr
a few hours ago till now, Iโve gotten a relatively complicated
#shinyapp
exported, deployed, and running serverless. This is magic.
