@defuneste@fosstodon.org @Posit@fosstodon.org I listened. I especially enjoyed the bit about what the R community was like on mailing lists and then SO, then Twitter. Hadley’s focus on making the community more inclusive is something I appreciate.
I was disappointed to hear that the R community here isn’t active. I mean, we only have a dedicated instance for this language. But apparently Bsky is superior for engagement. I mean, yeah. Of you don’t put in any effort then leave you won’t have any.

@defuneste@fosstodon.org @Posit@fosstodon.org it was also interesting to hear thoughts on AI vs community building through interpersonal interaction. I’ve had this thought too.

@adamhsparks@rstats.me @Posit@fosstodon.org I also listened, a good episode! I liked the framing on origin from academia versus "industry". Its seems even Hadley has some impostor syndrome (and worries about AI)! My 2 minus (to not be welcoming 😉 ) : - no mention to targets or point blank that do very similar in that space (I know I am obsessed) - the joke on doing welding because of AI while layoff are going crazy (and more) feel out of touch (I guess bsky bubble 😜 )
