5 Hidden Skills for Big Data Scientists by Matthew Hurst.
Matthew outlines five (5) skills for data scientists:
- Be Clear: Is Your Problem Really A Big Data Problem?
- Communicating About Your Data
- Invest in Interactive Analytics, not Reporting
- Understand the Role and Quality of Human Evaluations of Data
- Spend Time on the Plumbing
Turn off your email/cellphone and spend a few minutes jotting down your ideas on these points.
Then compare your ideas/comments to Matthew’s.
Not a question of better/worse but of forming a habit of thinking about data.
