i've spent the entire day trying to figure out why my server was sending escaped html to the frontend (needed the raw html).

after hours of debugging, i've finally discovered the culprit...

it was me. i escaped it :(

A digital CAPTCHA verification window titled "Select all squares with PIPES" against a plain white background. The window contains a 3Γ—3 grid of numbered squares, mixing literal hardware, smoking pipes, and programming syntax.

These captchas just keep getting harder #rstats

python vs R?
base R vs tidyverse?
framework X vs Y?

unless you're getting paid, use the one that brings you the most joy.

life's too short to keep on writing code that you neither enjoy nor get paid for.

My advice: do not use multiple email addresses across your CRAN packages, use one.

Alternatively, be very rigourous and *set a reminder " when you see that email from CRAN at your kom standard email address.

sometimes i sit and wonder whether partial matching was introduced as a real feature or as an accidental by-product.

bliki: Frequency Reduces Difficulty "If it hurts - do it more often". Good advice if the amount of pain raises exponentially with the time between actions, such as for integrating software.

used to hate writing tests and the whole CRAN submission process but with time i've come to appreciate both.

if it hurts, do it more often:

{hypertext} is a DSL for building HTML in R.
it's similar to {htmltools}, but with 2 deliberate differences:
- it is *framework-agnostic*
- it has *zero dependencies*

we now have more web frameworks in R than ever before. {hypertext} works with all of them, and independently of them.
