Data science attracts a variety of different backgrounds. From my professional experience, I’ve worked with colleagues who were once:

  • Nuclear Physicists
  • Post-docs researching Gravitational Waves
  • PhD’s in Computational Biology
  • Linguists

just to name a few.

It is wonderful to be able to meet such a diverse set of backgrounds and I have seen such a variety of minds lead to the growth of a creative and effective Data Science function.

However, I have also seen one big downside to this variety:

Everyone has had different levels of exposure to key Software Engineering concepts, resulting in a patchwork of coding skills.

As a result, I have seen work done by some data scientists that is brilliant, but is:

  • Unreadable — you have no idea what they are trying to do.
