as a data scientist, I would struggle to answer 'what % of your work involves programming in python?'
I'm like well uh that depends. 95% if you include #import sklearn and basic numpy and pandas operations. 01% if you consider 'real programming'. 'so what %?' ...
That aside, there is a real problem in the tech industry when it comes to developing talent. Universities teach mostly theory and rely on the industry to teach us best practice, 'production level coding'. but then once they get to the industry, they get no mentorship.
companies don't want to spend time training someone who will leave in 2 years. however, if everyone did solid mentorship programs, the entire industry would benefit.
