rmarkdown is insanely effective at getting information out of your hands and into stakeholders repeatedly and in an visually appealing way. When you combine that with your domain knowledge, your value to your company will increase.
This was the killer (visual) feature in LyX when I used it to author LaTeX documents. Great to hear rmarkdown has similar support.
There's a whole bunch of stuff you can do by hand. But if you do it by hand, you'll compromise your sense of satisficing. It amazes me how often the 'work harder' crowd doesn't reconcile the two.
If you can quickly and reliably figure out we're spending $100k a month, you get a raise. If you can figure out why it's $100k instead of $80k, you might be up for a promotion.
