I discovered last week that Claude Code is now included with Claude Pro/Max subscriptions! Game changer for my R package development workflow 🧵 #ClaudeAI #ClaudeCode #AIAssisted #RStats #Programming #DevTools #Coding

Creating a package to organize my work, instead of just reloading functions from scripts, was the best thing I did so far this year. #rstats

15 years together, and going strong. Growing, learning, supporting, laughing, crying, loving.

Spent last week debugging Hugo issues in our R-Ladies website - I wanted to add one page per Chapter. However, we have chapter data as Hugo site data, which doesn't render into pages, I needed to setup a content adapter, which I had never done before. Here's how I used Claude to solve it 🧵

Day 24: rlang - Tidy Evaluation in Packages Handle user expressions safely in package functions. Pro Tip: Use {{ }} (embrace) for single arguments, ... for multiple arguments. Resources: rlang.r-lib.org #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025

Day 23: cli - Beautiful Command Line Interfaces Create user-friendly messages and progress indicators. Pro Tip: Use semantic markup like {.fn function_name} and {.val value} for consistent formatting. Resources: cli.r-lib.org #RpackageAdvent2025 #rstats

This was such a struggle, but it's finally there! After struggling with graphql for a good while, not only is meetupr now ported to httr2, has a comprehensive test suite and proper OAuth handling, it's finally on CRAN! rladies.org/meetupr/ #rstats #rladies

Day 22: S3, S4, and S7 Object Systems Create robust object-oriented interfaces with R's object systems. Pro Tip: Use S3 for simple classes, S4 for complex validation, S7 for modern OOP. Resources: rconsortium.github.io/S7 #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025

Day 21: rhub - Multi-Platform Testing (Thread) Test your package on multiple platforms before CRAN submission. Resources: r-hub.github.io/rhub/ #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025

Day 20: Performance Testing with bench Profile and benchmark your package functions. Pro Tip: Include benchmarks in your test suite to catch performance regressions. Resources: bench.r-lib.org #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025

For months I've had a pesky message that shows up in my #RStats test logs and today I realized I can figure out exactly where it's coming from with testthat's location reporter Rscript -e 'devtools::test(reporter = "location")' 2>&1 | tee test.log

Day 18: Use linters! Maintain consistent, readable code style automatically. Usage: lintr::lint_package() styler::style_pkg() Pro Tip: Add both to pre-commit hooks for automatic code formatting. Resources: lintr.r-lib.org #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025

Day 17: vcr - Recording API Calls for Tests Record real API responses for reliable, fast tests without hitting live APIs. Pro Tip: Commit cassette files to git for reproducible tests across environments. Resources: docs.ropensci.org/vcr #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025

Day 16: Testing with Mocks using testthat Test functions that depend on external resources using testthat's built-in mocking. Pro Tip: Use local_mocked_bindings() to mock functions within the test scope only. Resources: testthat.r-lib.org #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025

Day 15: Snapshot Testing with testthat Test complex outputs that are hard to specify exactly. Pro Tip: Review snapshot changes carefully - they capture everything, including whitespace and formatting. #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025
