I've been looking into dbt for data engineering and wanted to flesh out what the similarities and differences were to just using {targets} - I learned lots about both of them!
I wrote up my findings in this post

Maybe I knew this at one point in the past, maybe not, but it just blew my mind (all over again, if I did)... 🤯
In a terminal, Ctrl+x Ctrl+e opens $EDITOR to edit the current command with whatever ergonomics you're more familiar with in that editor - amazing for long terminal commands.

I've been keeping an eye on this since I first heard about it, and it looks like it now works! duckdb has a dplyr extension which can be installed - use dplyr code to slice and dice data within a duckdb session.

Shoutouts to the author @mrchypark@mastodon.social and to @DSLC@fosstodon.org for their 'DuckDB in Action' book club.

A bit of a long shot, but in the spirit of #fedihire I'm on the lookout for opportunities to contribute to R tooling. If your org could use some help developing or productionising an R package or some prototype R code, managing data access via databases or APIs, or translating between languages, drop me a line and let's discuss. Worldwide timezones supported. My services are listed here: http://jcarroll.click/services and I'm available to start immediately.

New post: Schotter Plots in R
https://jcarroll.com.au/2026/04/17/schotter-plots-in-r/
in which I reproduce a famous plot in R based on translating some Python code, itself translated from ALGOL

R/Pharma 2026 call for speakers is open until (approx) 02 May and we're once again running an APAC track for those not in America/Europe timezones.
Some of last year's sessions are available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/rinpharma
We're interested to hear from people involved with R and Pharma, but also adjacent languages and industries.
Submit a proposal: https://sessionize.com/rpharma-2026/

Oh, no! My R package {safespace} is in a broken state - won't someone (new to PRs) help me fix it???
I'm renewing my offer to guide newbies through the R package building / fixing / reviewing process during Hacktoberfest - see this post
https://jcarroll.com.au/2024/10/01/a-safe-space-for-learning-how-to-make-pull-requests/
Open a pull request on https://github.com/jonocarroll/safespace to get a mentored review of your submitted changes with zero risk of breaking anything valuable if you mess it up completely.
Please boost for visibility!
