I'm so very tired and disappointed, especially after the discussion went full 'basic programming is super important and genAI won't help learning these basics and important concepts' and then we still end up with this 'but anywayz' approach. Why??

{lubridate} makes working with dates in R just that little bit easier: #rstats #dates

Make Dealing with Dates a Little Easier
Functions to work with date-times and time-spans: fast and user friendly parsing of date-time data, extraction and updating of components of a date-time (years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds), algebraic manipulation on date-time and time-span objects. The lubridate package has a consistent and memorable syntax that makes working with dates easy and fun.
