3. …in reply to @lukestein
   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)

4. OK folks. Here’s my thread on technology for teaching online.🦠 I’m not an expert, but I’ve got some thoughts.

5. There are lots of ways of generating LaTeX output using @Stata. Even if an old favorite serves you well (like -estout- for me), new packages offer awesome, complementary functionality. I summarized the Stata-LaTeX workflows I know about here: (1 of _N) lukestein.github.io/stata-latex-workflows/

7. If you use @Stata, you *really* should check out stata_kernel by @kylebarron2. Results inline with your code. Autocompletion for commands, variables, and globals/locals. This is FREE SOFTWARE developed by pre-doc Econ RAs. 🤯 @lukestein/1099438520702124033

12. Important PSA: @Stata supports multiple missing values (not just “.” but also e.g., “.a”). Using “!=.” as a test for nonmissing values is NOT robust and is asking for trouble! (Using the popular “<.” is even worse.) PLEASE always use “~missing(•)” (even in joke tweets 😉) @causalinf/1089187721774579713

13. With comp/qual season coming up for some, thought I might post a link to my study guide in case it’s useful for anyone. Looking back at this suggests that in the intervening years my priorities have improved and my LaTeX skills have atrophied. lukestein.com/steincoresummary.pdf @grad_econ/1082656857389453315
