If you are a data scientist, there is a skill set you can learn about evolution. Doors will open for you, wherever you go. Doors your colleagues can't even see. It will launch you with a rocket to a new level, where the easy accomplishment makes some drools jealous. And the best part: once you have truly learned it, you will live it for the rest of your life.

Software engineering skills.

What is this skill set, you ask eagerly, from the edge of your seat?

Include this in your set of all data science skills, and it won't stop you. I’m not just talking about being a data engineer or a B DS type. Whether you want to become a standard A-for-analyst data scientist, learning these skills allows you to use fun emoji tracks around crying data scientists.

So ... How do you do that? A few buttons on this state:

Data Scientists Drool With Envy
Data Scientists Drool With Envy


1) Avoid letter writing

You will hate this:.You need to be at writing code WITHOUT textbooks. Yes, I know you love Jupyter. It's a good thing. Nothing against it. But you can only go to that playground. If you want to write works, classes, and modules for other information scientists to incorporate into their textbooks ...Develop systems that integrate the work of other data scientists, at a higher level ...Or make your bright details used by people who don't read maths books for fun ...You cannot do any of these things in textbooks. Not by any means that works remotely. It's time to dump her and move on.

2) Programs aimed at Master Object

Surprisingly, most data scientists are not so bad at this.OOP is more important than you think. It is the foundation of everything else you do when you write complex, powerful software programs. When you import DataFrame from Pandas ... that's the category. When you create a LogisticRegression division into sci-kit-learn ... that's the stage again. You use classes all day, every day. Type B scientists have made it for you to use but that scratch is just more than that. NOTHING is going to elevate you and separate you from other data analysts like learning to write good code-based code.

3) Learn to write a unit test

Yes, unless you have probably written unit tests.

This is a BIG agreement. The libraries you rely on daily use the default tests. They use a lot of 'em. That should tell you something. Writing automated tests, and making progress in testing ... by SUPERPOWER. It completely changes what you can do. When you learn to write exams, you can simply accomplish things you could not even touch before. Especially when combined with your skills at OOP. See how they build each other up?
