I'm going to need Hadley Wickham to make up his mind.

• early 00s - 2020s: recoding with dplyr is annoying; just use car::recode()
• 2020s: dplyr::recode() happens, breaking bazillions of scripts, functions, and analyses
• 2024: dplyr::recode() is deprecated; use case_match or case_when instead; it's way better except that you I have no idea why it was better, I just had to learn a new syntax form. I think many people just went back to car::recode(), at this point
• 2026: Now apparently case_match() is deprecated, and we're supposed to use a new function: recode_values(). I'll go learn about it when I have time.

Can we please just let this one stick around a few years? This isn't some esoteric, rare function; this is every day. All the time. Every time this breaks, it costs me hours of my life and comes back to cost me more hours in future years. as older, now-broken code refuses to work when I want to use it, and I spend an hour debugging before I remember.

Edit: I actually think Hadley Wickham is phenomenal and has probably (in my limited view) done more for R than any other1 single person in the past 20 years. I also know that something like tidyverse must evolve. My occasional gripes about the cycle of new functions, and my frequent frustration at just not understanding things quickly enough, are very small compared to my gratitude that the tidyverse is what it is.

1 Sorry, Yves Rosseel2 ... I'm a huge fan, but it's just a numbers game, you know? Laaan is my favorite package!

2 Huh. Spell check in Vivaldi helped me spell Rosseel correctly.

with() Changes Variable Scope?!

💥 DEPRECATED BUT STILL WORKS! The 'with' statement changes your scope and makes variables magically refer to object properties! Banned in strict mode but still in old codebases. This caused HUGE security bugs!

Très cool cette fonctionnalité native de Node qui permet de marquer une fonction comme dépréciée !

This is actually quite funny 🤓 Here's a plugin, suggested by the WordPress people, to be used to find deprecated functions, etc in your WordPress plugin. It's a tool for developers. Only ...

(It's the same with the official Theme Checker plugin btw)

Hmmm... A lot of work ahead of us. Again.

And don't forget

" This module is #unsupported, #unloved, #unmaintained, #obsolete, and #DEPRECATED. The most egregious of bugs might be fixed but I do not promise to do so. There is no support. Using this module is a Bad Idea. Under no circumstances will maintenance be handed over to anyone else. The PAUSE admins should note that anyone wanting to take over maintenance is not qualified to do so. "

Place your bets now on how many people are too fucking stupid to understand that in my code's doco.
