On Nov 18, 2024, [Yoav asks](https://x.com/yoavgo/status/1858565305162731701):

> latex q: i need all bibliography items to be numbered, but i want the text cites to still be author-year. how?

And, I wanted to document [Jackson’s solution](https://x.com/jowenpetty/status/1858568763731571120) here just in case anyone else needs it again:

```
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[
    citestyle=authoryear,
    bibstyle=numeric,
    natbib=true
]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{references.bib}

\title{Mixed Citations}
\author{Jackson Petty}
\date{November 2024}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

As argued in \citet{macdonald-2008-syntactic}, inner aspect occupies a functional AspP projection intermediate between the \emph{v}P and VP phrases.

\printbibliography

\end{document}
```

with the comment that:

> `natbib=true` isn't necessary, it's just to provide natbib-style commands like `\citet` and `\citep` which people tend to be more familiar with over the biblatex-native commands

and this gives us:
