It's impossible to overstate the difference a nice, small, reproducible example makes when you open an issue or a feature request. For me it is so often the difference between "💡I can fix that right now" and "🤔 I'll have to come back to that later".

Its the first ‘This Week in R’ of 2025! Including: getting started with {targets}; automating file management with {fs}; supercharging your #shiny software development and visualising the core R source code. All this and more below! #rstats #news #blog #rshiny www.linkedin.com/pulse/week-r...
