This is related to the advice I give all the young programmer-curious people I know: I tell them that they should go ahead and follow their interests in becoming an expert on computers and programming and data analysis, but that they should try to do those things secondarily to a domain they are learning about or working in. The solution to the problem of "the domain expert doesn't understand the data and the data expert doesn't understand the domain" is to have them be the same person.
