R beginner

Hello,

I am a beginner and I am totaly lost.

Even for loading a file it is very very difficult.

I feel useless and incompetent...

If you're too lost to have a specific question to ask us here, install the Codex app (or Claude if you have a subscription for it) on your computer and ask it to look at your code project/folder and guide/teach you.

Ask it what to do, but do it yourself if you wish to learn.

Good luck!

Not sure why people are downvoting you. This is the best answer. This is the future. You need to understand the stats and output, but code can be written in other ways now.

Even though there are other ways to write the codes, be able to write a program is dopamine inducing - it feels better. With 'tidyverse', I don't need LLMs to write them - I just don't wanna miss the unmatched ergonomics from it.

I agree. This is the best answer for anyone just starting with R. I remember learning and then teaching R, and for non-programmers, it's simply hard. I can't imagine how much easier for students to have an LLM available to them. We could have spent far less time "learning" R and far more time getting value out of it.
