Egor Kotov 🌐🏃‍♂️🚊🚋🚙Mar 6, 2025
Earlier this week, I had a great time as an #rstats package maintainer and mentor at the @rOpenSci mini-hackathon for first time contributors. Enrique Mondragon Estrada made a pull request to add a new feature to #rJavaEnv for reproducible Java environment setup for Java-dependent R packages.

@rOpenSci While doing that, we also identified a few bugs in the code and Enrique fixed those too with another PR!

Having this mentoring parallel programming session was a joy. It's a great way to share one's experience, but also learn how other people program and use development environments. Also a great way to help our the contributors to your package get more familiar with your code. I would definitely do it again!
