Review and complete draft analysis.qmd (ds4owd-002 per-variable registration analysis)

[larnsce]

Summary

A new per-variable exploratory analysis was added alongside the existing narrative index.qmd in pages/blog/posts/2025-09-01-ds4owd-002-registration-analysis/. It walks through every registration survey variable with a brief summary, a frequency plot, and two observations plus one course implication per plot.

The file is currently draft: true and needs review before it is published.

• Branch: feature/registration-per-variable-analysis
• File: pages/blog/posts/2025-09-01-ds4owd-002-registration-analysis/analysis.qmd

Scope of the draft

• Covers all ~54 survey questions across nine thematic sections: identity, demographics, barriers, programming, version control, tooling, LLM/AI, digital habits, goals and consent.
• Reusable plot_freq and plot_multi helpers join the choices dictionary for human-readable labels.
• Free-text and consent fields are summarised by completeness rather than plotted.
• Rendered _freeze output is committed so the page builds without re-running R.

Review checklist

• Read through each section and confirm the observations match the plots
• Confirm the course implications are accurate and useful
• Check author/byline and front matter (title, description, date, categories)
• Decide whether this should publish as a separate blog post or remain an internal analysis
• Confirm data handling: raw_data.csv is gitignored, so verify the page still builds on a clean checkout from the committed _freeze output
• Flip draft: true to false once approved
• Open the dev into main PR after merging the feature branch into dev

Notes

• The .gitignore and index.qmd changes in the working tree were not committed with this feature and are tracked separately.
