Thanks Jenny!
The me from 2020 didn't know that 😅. But it's great that you clarified it! I've just been playing a bit with Adobe Express clip maker to make these clips. Though first I had to remove filler words and pauses :P
In any case, I love #reprex and want to spread the love around =)
That's exactly why you need to include the library() statements showing which packages you're actually using 💡. I emphasized that all of this - the whole #reprex approach - is simply about making it easier for other people to help you faster⚡🤝. These are the main advantages of the reprex package! ✨👍🏽
I explained why including context is crucial 📚! I pointed out that someone could just paste code like "GRanges from 1 to 1000 plus..." but then I would be confused 😕 asking "where does this function come from? What package is this from?" 📦❓

I demonstrated running a #reprex in a fresh #RStats session 💻 & opened it in my browser 🌐. It showed the 📦 loading with all its messages, then the function itself. I pointed out that I had made a syntax error: I missed the colon before the plus sign ➕❌, which caused an error

I emphasized this is way better than screenshots 📸❌ since you can't copy code from those. That's the core idea of the #reprex package 📦✨!

I then broke down what #reprex() does behind the scenes 🔧: it recognizes which parts are code vs. console prompts (like the > symbols), reruns everything in a fresh R session 🔄, captures the output, and creates a tiny temporary website 🌐 that makes it super easy to copy-paste.

I explained how the reprex workflow helps with collaboration 🤝! I described a scenario where I ask a question about why the mean is 2.5 and not 3, and Nina wants to help by running the same code 💻. She can easily copy-paste the #reprex output and it actually runs ✅!

I demonstrated how to use the #reprex package 📦! I loaded it and explained the workflow: I copied lines of code from my console (pretending Leo has a question ❓), then ran the reprex() function without any arguments 💻.

They believe it should be easy for others to help them ❓ But I pointed out this approach has issues, which is why I introduced the #reprex package 📦 as the solution to make getting help easier! ✨

I explained how a common problem makes it harder for people to get help 😤. People often think they've provided everything needed - posting their code online 💻, showing how to recreate objects, sharing all the code they ran, and even including the output 📊.

I explained the common problem people encounter when asking for coding help 🤔. I showed how someone might copy code they ran, paste it, ask a question. I was setting up to explain what's wrong with this approach ❌ of sharing code for troubleshooting purposes💻 #RStats #reprex @jennybryan.bsky.social
I re-edited this 2020 video using Adobe Premier Pro's features for removing filler words, pauses, and text-based editing. In total it went down from 20:53 min to 12:41. I hope that you get to (re-)enjoy it ^_^.

While I generally (out of principle) stay away from tidy this made me chuckle out loud.
