Comment on Radical Change Is Coming to Data Science Jobs

Comments

Man that's a nothingburger article.

Over the coming years, I foresee data scientists dividing into at least five types of workers

Yeah, sorry my dude; that happened before "data science" was even considered a profession.

The other tools; trifecta is a helpful thing, but I doubt it's helpful enough people will actually pay for it. Auto-sklearn/DataRobot was the result of a DARPA request a few years ago, and doesn't even vaguely solve the right problem. It's also just R-caret which has existed for 10 years now.

My prediction: data science in 5-10 years will look pretty much the same as it does now. Just like aircraft in 5-10 years will look pretty much the same as they do now, or did 5-10 years ago.
