Use the {beepr} package to be notified when your R code is done

Tired of waiting for your R script to finish running? In my latest "R in 2 Minutes" video, I showcase the {beepr} package, which plays a sound when your code is complete, so you don’t have to keep checking! I demonstrate how it works using a time-consuming task—importing multiple CSV files—and explore various fun sound options, including nostalgic ones. Plus, my son Elias joins as a special guest, adding some comic relief while we wait. This simple trick can save time and make your R coding sessions more efficient and enjoyable.
