I will start:
a) as.Date(“2022-Jul-01”, format =“%Y-%b-%d”) will or will not work depending on os language
b) how R handles diacritics and encoding differently on Linux and on windows
c) Rstudio :D
Re: c) I will be a dirty shill for VSCode and R lol, example here. I find it much better for R shiny development, projects with multiple people and projects with multiple languages. Notebook support is less good out of the box, you will have to get a jupyter kernel set up - but I use scripts more so than notebooks anyway.
Anyway, onto the question! Base R. Yeah, I said it! Whenever I have a weird enough situation where tidyverse functions won’t work due to poor quality data, then I shed a single solemn tear and quietly wish I had done the project in python as I start writing a for loop in what will no doubt be the most hacky solution ever.
