“R is not a real programming language. And you’re not a real programmer if you use R.”
Don’t believe everything you hear…
Here’s my thoughts on silly comments like these🧵
#rstats #datascience
I heard this recently from a “hard-core C++ programmer“
And it’s simply not correct.
Sure I’m not out there creating self-driving cars (neither is he).
But if I take a look at just a small sample of my personal accomplishments…
I’m finding that it looks like I’m more of a programmer than he knows.
A couple vanity metrics (I really don’t like these but in this case they prove a point)…
1. I’ve made 934 GitHub commits
2. I’ve amassed 737 followers
3. 5 awards
I did all of this…
All while “not being a programmer”
(And using the programmers Number 1 tool for version controlling code.)
So don’t believe everything you hear.
There’s a lot of idiots out there that haven’t a clue what they are saying OR to whom they are saying it to.
My response: 😊
And If you’d don’t want to become the anti-programmer learning the dark arts and underground ways to get a $117,358 salary as a data scientist…
…then please do not follow me.
So please do not learn R.
R is certainly not a programming language.
And it certainly won’t do anything good for you. 🤣
And for heavens sake please do not watch my free 40-minute webinar which gives you the 10 secrets in R that…
… got me promoted 3 times in a year
… helped me earn $155,000 per year from my job
… and made me another $150,000 a year in consulting fees
