toju @tojyouso.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Is R still relevant? I realised that of the 50 data folk in our org, only 2 of us (myself included) still use R. Everyone else uses Python.

Reposted by tojuRobert Yi @ryi.me · 06/11/2024I want to state for the record that I still believe that analysts should become more strategic (esp now that I've exited my primary conflict of interest).
