Programming questions for beginners - eviltoast

I’m currently working on learning r programming to use at work. Is there a good place whereI can ask for answers to the issues I’m running into that I cannot find by just searching online.

    Ask ChatGPT. It won’t always be correct, but is patient with a new learner, so to speak. You can ask it to explain in more detail, or “is there another way to do that?” and get a different perspective on a solution.

      We use chat gpt at work a lot. Why write a ton of basic code when chat gpt will do it for you 90% error free. Then just tweak a few things and your set.

      Plus that asking “can I do X” and it saying no, but you can do it some other way is a huge time saver.

        Thanks for the suggestion. I have been playing around with ChatGPT for a day now. This is a incredible tool. I also realised that a lot of the stuff I was trying to figure out can just be outsourced now.
