Somewhere in a backroom, there's a hamster named Julia. In a hamster ball.

Oh how I wish this was the data scientists I work with
Probably barking up the wrong tree here, but boy do I hate R. The documentation is the worst, combined with the poor r studio experience. Vscode makes notebooks a bit better but lost a lot of functionality as far as I could tell.
Laughed so hard when I this course once they told us to do ML in R with Keras ... By calling the python API.
Not me!
DON'T HURT THE SIMPLE CHILD
I feel like some people are using python just so they can say that they use python
It's more because when ds has to hand over their work to the eng team the eng team doesn't want to fuck with r
Trust me, the eng team doesn't want to fuck with Python either.
Meh lots of python stacks out there now, especially data pipes.
then typescript front ends.
Point is no one wants to support r in production
I considered looking at R once. As a data scientist and an experienced Python user, maybe I'll see something useful. Then I learned that R uses <- for variable assignment and = for equality evaluation, and I stopped learning because I would make that mistake if I learned to switch back and forth for the rest of my life.
You can also use = to assign variables in R it’s just not good practice
