Data Science vs. Software Dev
- Data scientists and software developers have different styles and priorities in Python programming.
- This stems from varying project lifecycles and goals, impacting code style and maintainability.
Jody's Python Journey
- Jody Burchell learned Python during her psychology PhD to avoid thesis writing but initially struggled to apply it due to underdeveloped statistics libraries.
- She later rediscovered Python when transitioning into industry for its machine learning capabilities.
Data Scientist Role
- Data scientists primarily analyze data for internal process improvement or intellectual property development.
- Their output is either an analysis report or a production model, unlike software developers who create robust systems.
