The number one trait you want in a data scientist by Audrey Watters.
Description: DJ Patil on the traits of data scientists and how data science will evolve within companies.
From the post:
“Data scientist” is an on-the-rise job title, but what are the skills that make a good one? And how can both data scientists and the companies they work for make sure data-driven insights become actionable?
In a recent interview, DJ Patil (@dpatil), formerly the chief scientist at LinkedIn and now the data scientist in residence at Greylock Partners, discussed common data scientist traits and the challenges that those in the profession face getting their work onto company roadmaps.
An interesting read and good interview.
I think the #1 trait will surprise you.
Not all topic map authors are data scientists but it would be hard to write a good topic map and not be a data scientist.
Is this terminology that we want to adopt for ourselves in the topic map community? It is popular and might help on resumes and job applications.
