tldr since RStudio Server Pro runs RStudio IDE, Jupyter notebooks, Jupyter lab, AND VS code, we’ve renamed it to RStudio workbench
RStudio Server Pro is now RStudio Workbench, providing a single home for enterprise data science teams using R & Python to scale and collaborate on their work. Learn more at blog.rstudio.com/2021/06/02/…

My therapist: "you definitely have clinical burnout." Me: "Oh man. Well, how long is that going to take to fix, because I've got a _lot_ of stuff that needs doing." My therapist: Me: Me: what?

I’ve just gave my 3y old an empty canvas and told him to go wild. And I absolutely love it.
