Are you really building generic frameworks and writing extensive tests every time you do some data exploration and analysis in R Studio?

- The_Amp_Walrus 5y agoNo. You'd be using pre-existing high-level tools for this purpose (in Python land this would be pandas, matplotlib, jupyter etc). Not all software development should involve writing your own framework, and it's a bit of a trope that junior SWEs try to write DSLs and frameworks where they should just write some throwaway code. That said, if there's a common modelling or simulation method in your field and there's no great open source generic framework for it, then you should take a hard look at what you are all spending your time on (endlessly reimplementing the wheel).
