Oddly Satisfying - Find delight in the mundane

July 27, 2022, 1:50pm - 2:10pm, https://sched.co/11iYl

This repo contains slides and supporting materials for my presentation at the 2022 RStudio Conference in Washington D.C, July 27-29.

It happens to us all - a request to "just re-run the code" turns into a project nightmare. The materials left to you are poorly documented and scattered across Word, Excel, ArcGIS, and PDF reports. In this talk, I show you how to turn any project into a point of pride. Using a worked example, I provide guidance on how to complete a project intake, find your opportunity to shine, and how to work efficiently and reproducibly through thoughtful documentation. Finally, I cover how to set up the project for future success. Learn how to take the messy project you dread and make it inexplicably satisfying.

Dates, logistics, requirements, etc.

A crisp 20 minutes.
