The "data scientist" where I recently contracted struggles with generating basic reports. I saw a full page SQL query with the caption "yeah, data science is hard" posted to slack. Terrifying. I think the term "data science" is often misused. It seems to make management feel like they are on the cutting edge. They were talking about AI and a R&D department the other day. They aren't even making use of simple heuristics yet! I guess that talk helps with fundraising though.
