One thing I fear is a GitHub issue that never dies — users keep asking questions under an issue. Sometimes this brings mental fatigue to me: you can check out any time, but you can never leave.
I spent some time on reviewing and modifying Elio’s pull request yihui/knitr#1444 yesterday, and finally merged it and documented the new feature. I guess I used up my mental power yesterday. The whole day was spent on several knitr issues and pull requests, including this one, as I was hoping to release the next version of knitr to CRAN in the near future, which contains two “atom bombs” that I’m very excited about. Today I don’t want to work on coding anymore. That is why I’m simply writing blog posts today.
A user added a question under the merged pull request. I had a guess on my mind, but didn’t want to verify it by myself. Elio did it for me, without me asking him to.
Even better, my guess worked. Thanks, Elio!

When sending money, please be sure to add a note “gift” or “donation” if possible, so it won’t be treated as my taxable income but a genuine gift. Needless to say, donation is completely voluntary and I appreciate any amount you can give.

I’ll give back a significant portion of the donations to the open-source community and charities. For the record, I received about $30,000 in total (before tax) in 2024-25, and gave back about $15,000 (after tax).
