<p>2017 is nearly at an end. We humans seem to need these cycles to help us on our path forward and have, throughout history, used these annual demarcation points as a time of reflection of what was, what is an what shall come next.</p>
<p>To that end, I decided it was about time to help quantify a part of the soon-to-be previous annum in R through the fabrication of a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hrbrmstr/2017-year-in-review" target="_blank">reusable template</a>. Said template contains various incantations that will enable the wielder to enumerate their social contributions on:</p>
<ul>
<li>StackOveflow</li>
<li>GitHub </li>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>WordPress</li>
</ul>
<p>through the use of a parameterized R markdown document. </p>
<p>The result of one such execution can be found <a rel="nofollow" href="https://rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/" target="_blank">here</a> (for those who want a glimpse of what I was publicly up to in 2017). </p>
<p>Want to see where you contributed the most on SO? There’s a vis for that:</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://i1.wp.com/rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/year-in-review_files/figure-html/tag_gravity-1.png?ssl=1" target="_blank"><img width="450" src="https://i1.wp.com/rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/year-in-review_files/figure-html/tag_gravity-1.png?resize=780%2C624&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></p>
<p>What about your GitHub activity? There’s a vis for that, too:</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://i1.wp.com/rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/year-in-review_files/figure-html/commit_pulse-1.png?ssl=1" target="_blank"><img width="450" src="https://i1.wp.com/rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/year-in-review_files/figure-html/commit_pulse-1.png?resize=780%2C468&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></p>
<p>Perhaps you just want to see your top blog posts for the year. There’s also a vis for that:</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://i2.wp.com/rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/year-in-review_files/figure-html/monthly_post_view-1.png?ssl=1" target="_blank"><img width="450" src="https://i2.wp.com/rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/year-in-review_files/figure-html/monthly_post_view-1.png?resize=780%2C461&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></p>
<p>Or — maybe — you just want to see how much you blathered on Twitter. There’s even a vis for that:</p>
<p><img width="450" src="https://i2.wp.com/rud.is/rpubs/2017-year-in-review/year-in-review_files/figure-html/tweet_length-1.png?resize=780%2C429&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>Take the Rmd for a spin. File <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hrbrmstr/2017-year-in-review/issues" target="_blank">issues</a> &amp; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hrbrmstr/2017-year-in-review/pulls" target="_blank">PRs</a> for things that need work and take some time to look back on 2017 with a more quantified eye than you may have in years’ past.</p>
<p>Here’s to 2018 being full of magic, awe, wonder and delight for us all!</p>
