@zeileis Fritz's classes in Munich were what got me interested in #RStats. His teaching made it a thing that I could not only use but also peek under the hood of. His usage of ICA to separate a very gobbled recording into the national anthems of Germany and Austria, live in the lecture, was a big aha moment of being able to use stats and machine learning on more than just tabular data!
We continue to improve error messages, this time in recipes. And unlike usual, we are also looking ahead to Q1 because we are so excited! Survival analysis! π Model fairness! π
Some news to share - my role as Open Source Program Director at Posit was eliminated in December, so Iβll be moving on to new opportunities.
I'm so grateful for the time at RStudio/Posit, & the chance to work with such talented and kind people in open source. It was a truly a joy and a privilege to work with colleagues who will remain friends.
While this chapter comes to a close, I'm looking forward to staying involved with projects like TidyTuesday and pyOpenSci & whatever is next!

Traveling to Vienna π¦πΉ tomorrow, I'll arrive Thursday morning local time. Does anyone have any tips/recommendations of where to go, what to see, etc?
