PSA: if you use Homebrew to install R, you almost always want to do:
brew install --cask r
instead of `brew install r`.
The cask approach installs the CRAN distribution of R, which will be compatible with CRAN-built binary packages and you will have a happier life 🍻 #rstats

Was discussing pros and cons of LLM-generated code recently with colleagues and one big takeaway was this:
In humans, taste develops much faster than ability.
In coding assistants, ability develops much faster than taste.
