372 days of daily tweeting got me: ~ 9,300 new followers ~ 10,000,000 impressions Guess I have to do the same thing on the "business people" platform again 🤷 Come find me there as I'm going to use it for more in-depth content✌️

Doing calculations with time data is hard. But it's considerably easier with {lubridate}. You can use its convenience functions to ✅ make dates ✅ add subtract arbitrary time spans ✅ find time lengths between two time points

Part 2 does the same thing in a more automated way. This way, you don't have to hardcode so many things. You can find the video at https://t.co/awq7XfykC4

I used to struggle with emphasizing single words in a plot title. Then, I learned with about the {ggtext} package. Now it's pretty easy to just wrap words in **..** and make them bold that way.

Mitarbeitenden im Reisezentrum, die die Frau nur mit "NEIN!" und "NUR DEUTSCH!" anbrüllten, war dieser glückliche Ausgang leider nicht zu verdanken. Vielleicht schaffen Ihre Mitarbeitenden mit mehr struktureller Unterstützung, solche Situationen weniger aggressiv zu lösen. (4/4)

aber ein menschlicher Umgang sollte das Minimum sein. Außerdem ist es fragwürdig, dass Ihre Mitarbeitenden ihr Verhalten damit rechtfertigen, dass "ständig `solche` Leute" kämen und deren "blöde Übersetzungsapp" nicht funktioniere. Man konnte der angebrüllten Frau (2/4)

Liebe @DB_Bahn, bitte unterstützen Sie Ihre Mitarbeitenden im Reisezentrum Ulm. Sie scheinen überarbeitet und/oder überfordert zu sein. Nur so kann ich mir erklären, dass man eine alte Frau anbrüllt, die kein Deutsch oder Englisch kann. Klar ist die Sprachbarriere blöd, (1/4)

Way too many people never think about changing the colors in their charts. Yet, it's super easy to change the default colors and personalize your chart. Here's a YT video that gives you three ways to do just that in ggplot. You can find the link below.

The {lubridate} package gives you data wrangling superpowers. My favorite trick: Convert text dates into actual dates. Just specify the orders of day, month and year and `parse_date_time()` will do the rest. It can even handle a mix of formats.

Stacked bar charts are everywhere. But I think they are quite messy in a lot of cases. Fortunately, it's super easy to fix them with ggplot. Here's an #rstats video that shows you how (link below)
