I was loving Claude Code... until I tried it with #rstats. Constant errors, wouldn't use the tidyverse even when asked, "optimized" functions were slower.
Frustrated, I started a session just to teach R to Claude and summarize what it learned into a CLAUDE.md file gist.github.com/sj-io/3828d6...

Do you ever make a really nice table and then spend like 30+ minutes just clicking around?
reactable has gotta be my fav R table package. This table has just shy of 50K rows with grouping, conditional formatting, filtering and sorting. Renders and runs super fast. #rstats
