      If you want to blow someone’s mind, find a student or coauthor who’s never used 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲 and show them (This is built into @code, @Stata, @rstudio, and every other decent text editor)

        We all know you’re supposed to tweet when you discover/invent something new, but a lot of the low-hanging fruit is just tweeting when you realize that many people apparently don’t know something useful

        (Yes, repeated “replace” statements is not the best way to code this, but we all do stuff like this, right? If you work w. US data in @Stata you should check out statastates📦 though) @lukestein/1444696497577242633
