I’d say write a book but whatevs
When you’ve written the same code 3 times, write a function When you’ve given the same in-person advice 3 times, write a blog post

Was actually considering that as a next level! Three blog posts -> write a book.
-
But the fact you don't blog does keep you from sharing some advice! You let me do your dirty work for youhttp://varianceexplained.org/r/teach-tidyverse/ …

Nice blog post. R pedagogical question: do you think putting the package names before the tidyverse function calls (e.g., dplyr::mutate or whatever) might help students to know where to look for more information?
-
I personally don't think so; I think students are less interested in details like "who defined this function" than instructors expect
-
Thanks. I think I will give this "tidyverse first" approach a try, next time I'm doing an R tutorial.
-
I'm glad, good luck!

Agreed. & when you’ve answered the same question about your project on gitter/irc/Mail lists 3 times, write some documentation.

I also use this guide when writing documentation. Even if it's a "stupid" question - if 3 people ask it, it's demonstrably not a stupid question any more.
