In this episode, I chat with Simon Couch, a software engineer at Posit, about his work on AI-powered R packages. Simon maintains open-source statistical software and explores how AI can streamline coding workflows. We discuss his journey from statistics and sociology to AI-driven tooling, his development of the PAL and Gander packages, and why AI won’t replace coding anytime soon—but can definitely make it easier. Improtant resources mentioned:Simon’s blogTidyverse blog post on PAL & GanderConnect with Simon on:  LinkedIn: Simon P.
