As my colleague put it: They teach us about half the alphabet, then they ask us to read but fail to mention that there's the entire rest of the alphabet we need to find out about ourselves. That is, way too many (most) of the tasks given required the student to find out for themselves if they could solve the task with the material in the lectures or if you were supposed to find more tools, packages, statistical theory etc on your own. Starting from scratch, with all problems you can encounter with packages and different versions etc, it isn't very nice to throw very dirty data at beginners and then not even telling them that they should be googling for additional information. Would not recommend this specialization to anyone. I did complete it though, it took med about a year and a half. After maybe five or six months I felt that I could make use of R in my work.

Also, I dislike having to choose either ""write-only"" syntax (with data.table) or limited functionality and poor performance (with dplyr). I am aware of dtplyr, which I view as the R equivalent of King Solomon cutting the baby in half.

Finally, RStudio is the only good IDE available, and while it's good for a browser-based IDE, the desktop version is really clunky as desktop IDEs go. The debugging functionality is significantly behind IDEs for other languages, and I disable features as basic as tab-complete and quote/paren pairing are too clumsy and inconsistent to really be helpful.","General search websites such as Google and Yahoo, Question and answer sites such as Stack Overflow and Quora, Straight to the source code",General search websites such as Google and Yahoo,"Personal blog or web site owned by you, Other internal web site or portal run by my organization (for example,  Sharepoint), Public web sites such as Github or Netlify",I expect it to decrease,eight,Weekly -- Between once a day and once a week,"Creating R Notebooks, Building web sites via blogdown, Creating presentation slides",I expect it to stay the same,Sometimes -- I use or build Shiny applications occasionally,I expect it to stay the same,Weekly -- Between once a day and once a week,"Statistical analysis, Data transformation, Modeling, Financial analysis",4,9,I expect it to increase,"C/C++, Excel, Java, Python, Tableau, Visual Basic",C/C++,1991,male,White,"Bachelor’s degree (e.g. BA, BS)",United States of America,Financial Services and Activities,Senior Data Scientist,Data scientist or analyst,0,Local or regional R meetup,Reddit
