My Faves

I have bookmarked a billion things and tested hundreds of different software and projects. These are the things that I liked enough to write about.

Sites

Here are some sites that I really like.

  • GitHub Trending - There’s always something interesting on here.
  • Hacker News - I’ve ditched Reddit and all social media, but I still can’t stop myself from checking Hacker News.

Software

  • Quarto - Technical publishing software. This blog is written with it!
  • Obsidian - A note taking app that I use for everything.
  • Positron - Visual Studio Code and RStudio Desktop had a baby.
  • Vim - (Neo)Vim, or anything that supports Vim keybindings is my favorite.
  • Oh-my-zsh - Zsh framework that just makes my life better.

Courses/Books

Learning is always fun, and some resources are better than others.

  • R Inferno - Abstract: If you are using R and you think you’re in hell, this is a map for you.
    • This book is for when you start running into all of the footguns that R gives you. It’s also hillariously written, following the ‘9 circles of hell’ as a guide to avoiding them.
