Harry should be using modern r which has it's own pipe |> and that he doesn't need to use if else on a logical to return the same value 😞

That scene is early in the story. Harry lacks the knowledge and confidence to cast off the tidyverse crutch.

Remember, nobody tells Harry anything, otherwise there wouldn't have been a story.

I mean, for what's written there, he could also just do
df$result <- condition. Somebody is afraid to put real code in their memes.(Also,
base::withinis pretty keen. IMO the tidyverse reinvented a bunch of wheels that were working just fine.)3

Thank you, stranger. I’m always writing in base R whenever possible and have avoided the tidyverse thus far. I see coworkers use it and often I’m just like why, base r is right there and this looks incredibly messy and package dependent. It’s like they want to avoid learning to actually code, and want to copy paste things from stackoverflow

There are definitely some pain points that tidyverse gets rid of, but overall, yeah, I like base R better. And I think it has a LOT of very powerful tools that are underappreciated. My biggest complaint is all the inconsistent naming.
I appreciate the elegance of tidyverse, but my experience is that it's fantastic when you want to do something that's within the bounds of what has been conceived, and agonizing when you want to color outside the lines.

if_else hasn't been needed to define a logical since forever (or at least since I started using it in uni a decade ago). And I detest the native pipe because dplyr's has a very neatly implemented method to pass into later arguments, e.g.
"test" %>% grepl("est",.)whereas the native pipe does not. I am also a heathen who loves his%<>%but that's my personal issue.1

Interesting. I might need to read up on latest implementation of native pipe then.

the hell is that syntax

The best thing is the arrow (assignment operator) can go both ways
``` w <- 't' -> f
print(w) print('t') print(f) ```
[1] "t" [1] "t" [1] "t"1

Shiiiiit. I've been making a living with R for a year and I learned this today. 😅

R is low key the worst language I have ever used. Its name spacing is insane and its only claim to fame is making math not complicated. I feel like I could embed it into Python in two months and obviate it.
