Is there an #rstats option for "tibble = NEVER EVER" ? (yes, I do want to use some dplyr functions)

Turn off printing this way: print.tbl_df <- function(x, ...) { print.data.frame(x, ...) invisible(x) } I found this here, but presumably well known: tidyverse.org/blog/2018/04/p… No dice on the never ever, so more data.table for me

My most common piece of advice when reviewing a Shiny app: take non-reactive code out of your server and put it in its own function. Makes it so much easier to debug when something goes wrong in the depths of your Shiny app. See mastering-shiny.org/scaling-… for more details #rstats

Chapter 18 Functions | Mastering Shiny

As your app gets bigger, it will get harder and harder to hold all the pieces in your head, making it harder and harder to understand. In turn, this makes it harder to add new features, and harder...

Is there a list of #rstats packages developed by (South) Africans relevant to the local context? I'm thinking R packages making local datasets available e.g? @AfricaRUsers @satRday_ZAF maybe people in your communities know? Alternatively we could start a list (or R package) ;-)
