That I can just look up '<difficult thing I have no idea how to do> tutorial in R' and find like 8 in-depth blog posts makes me confident #rstats is the best.

I'm currently gathering all the pieces of code I have scattered other the web into a "purrr cookbook".
Are there any specific receipes you'd like see in it? pic.twitter.com/4n4EkRbedm
I’ve been working on a style guide for #rstats error messages at https://t.co/BENuYtGtrL — we’ll be using this for new messages and slowly updating existing across the tidyverse. Hopefully also useful for your own code!
