If you are a scientist and you code yourself, do you think scientists who do not write code do bad science? Please discuss.

Surely this is confounded as a question? It seems like it's measuring more than just the opinion of science vis-a-vis coding, but also ingroup/outgroup stuff?

It’s a twitter poll. Sure it’s not the greatest experimental design to find out the grand truth of what people think

Even given it's on twitter, I think it could have been asked less confusingly.

Thanks yes Olivia, as you very well know these can’t be edited and if you look at the comments you’re about the 4th people perso. Yo day this. So I’d rather not get into a discussion about it.

Sorry, should have looked more. I tried but twitter is shitty and it's often exhausting just trying to view subthreads. FWIW I think it's a really complex issue and probably one that will get/has got you a lot of blowback.

I don’t mind too much. I find the attitudes around coding elitist. I’ve learnt from this that the way I use R isn’t even coding. So what do I know

You use R and people tell you you aren't coding? What kind of arbitrary gatekeeping is that? I think it's okay not to code, but if you are doing it, people shouldn't tell you you're not...

People saying you aren't coding when you "use R"... Wow. That's pretty b the definition of programming, using a programming language.

But I have to say, yes, many are elitist... The sexism here is palpable... But... There are communities where you this just isn't true @RLadiesGlobal and you probably should seek them out.

It does seem to be a common opinion I didn’t know of. If you only use functions you’re not really coding.
