The best way to ensure good code is to have a good organization.
This paper from Microsoft looking at 50M lines of code found that organizational factors were far more powerful in explaining the number of bugs than any technical aspect of the project. microsoft.com/en-us/research…

Two strategies that have helped me use {gt} tables in Quarto documents:
1️⃣ as_raw_html()
This ensures that table styling isn't overwritten by Quarto
2️⃣ Overwrite knit_print()
Automatically apply as_raw_html() to any chunk that prints a {gt} table.

This weekend I built =GPT3(), a way to run GPT-3 prompts in Google Sheets.
It's incredible how tasks that are hard or impossible to do w/ regular formulas become trivial.
For example: sanitize data, write thank you cards, summarize product reviews, categorize feedback...

Asking for X years of experience (without measures of how someone actually performed) doesn’t tell you anything.
