Dealing with code (including tests and versioning) is on the same level as knowing the basic math notation. Should be embarrassing to not to apply the practices.
The only problem is that these good coding practices aren't that exact, and tend to go on and on all the way to infinity.
- sweezyjeezy 8y agoI agree, many (most?) data scientists spend most of their time coding, it's ridiculous how little time they're willing to hone this skill. Data science practices are similarly inexact - a lot of good decision making comes from experience, knowing when to apply each tool to a specific problem, when to just throw in a hack etc.
