00:15:27    Olivier Leroy:  It is also good to change mindset: debugging is fun!
00:17:46    Olivier Leroy:  I use DDG
00:18:58    Jo Hardin:  no, never
00:20:13    Olivier Leroy:  It is always NULL πŸ˜›
00:21:14    Steffi LaZerte (she/her):   Reacted to "It is always NULL πŸ˜›" with 😁
00:22:11    Derek Sollberger:   still describe the bug(s) to the rubber duck

00:22:26    Olivier Leroy:  Reacted to "still describe the b..." with πŸ¦†
00:22:39    Diana Garcia:   Reacted to "still describe the b..." with πŸ¦†
00:22:47    Jo Hardin:  the title of her talk is: object of type closure is not subsettable
00:23:06    Olivier Leroy:  Reacted to "the title of her tal..." with πŸ‘»
00:23:38    Derek Sollberger:   Reacted to "the title of her tal..." with πŸ‘»
00:25:14    Steffi LaZerte (she/her):   Replying to "still describe the b..."

With rOpenSci coworking, we always have a 5min scavenger hunt in the middle ("You have 30s to find something that is round", etc.) We get soooo many different rubber duckies 😁
00:25:26    Derek Sollberger:   Reacted to "With rOpenSci cowork..." with πŸ’œ
00:25:26    Steffi LaZerte (she/her):   Reacted to "the title of her tal..." with πŸ˜…
00:26:44    Olivier Leroy:  Reacted to "With rOpenSci cowork..." with πŸ˜„
00:37:20    Steffi LaZerte (she/her):   This is super helpful, because I've never understood all the nuanced steps within browser(). I just move the browser() statement and rerun πŸ˜…
00:38:09    Steffi LaZerte (she/her):   Escape also kicks you out (usually but not always)
00:45:24    Steffi LaZerte (she/her):   I'm dual-tasking a bit and was excited that your example walked me through using a breakpoint right when I needed it 😁
00:47:44    Jeffrey Stevens:    Reacted to "I'm dual-tasking a b..." with πŸ˜‚
00:51:15    Olivier Leroy:  I was searching from scholar article on history of debugger but my googlefu is bad now
01:04:01    Derek Sollberger:   I just need the warnings to be in a different color (so that my students stop freaking out)
01:04:09    Olivier Leroy:  Reacted to "I just need the warn..." with πŸ˜„
01:04:57    Steffi LaZerte (she/her):   Hahaha! Yes, I usually spend some time in the first class explaining the difference between Messages, Warnings and Errors :D to try and get them to relax a bit!
01:06:58    Jo Hardin:  gotta run.  thanks, Jeffery, this was fantastic!
01:11:07    Jeffrey Stevens:    end
01:11:43    Derek Sollberger:   Another mental boost from Hadley Wickham: "It’s easy when you start out programming to get really frustrated and think, β€œOh it’s me, I’m really stupid,” or, β€œI’m not made out to program.” But, that is absolutely not the case. Everyone gets frustrated. I still get frustrated occasionally when writing R code. It’s just a natural part of programming. So, it happens to everyone and gets less and less over time. Don’t blame yourself. Just take a break, do something fun, and then come back and try again later."
01:11:58    Olivier Leroy:  Reacted to "Another mental boost..." with πŸ‘
