There were warnings!🤕

Every August after a big grant report is complete, I update R and my packages and that can be a pain but usually not too bad. However, last year there was the crashed laptop but that was an Ubuntu version update.

This year I learned the importance of the renv 📦. I had an important Shiny Application fail because of the changes in the bs4Dash. (Yes, I recall reading the warnings but I forgot).

Honestly, I was intimidated to try the renv package because of trying packrat📦 in the past Thus far, it does not seem to hard to work with.
