Data Science and Beyond

APRIL 5, 2021

I’ve been working remotely with Automattic since 2017, so I was pretty covid-ready as far as work was concerned. The initial covid-19 lockdown provided me with extra free time to make the measurement and offsetting of Automattic’s emissions from data centre power use happen. Remote work. Technical work.

The lens of reductionism and an overemphasis on engineering becomes an Achilles heel for data science work. Instead, consider a “full stack” tracing from the point of data collection all the way out through inference. Finale Doshi-Velez, Been Kim (2017-02-28) ; see also the Domino blog article about TCAV.

We’ll unpack curiosity as a core attribute of effective data science, look at how that informs process for data science (in contrast to Agile, etc.), and dig into details about where science meets rhetoric in data science. That body of work has much to offer the practice of leading data science teams. This is not that.

The tiny downside of this is that our parents likely never had to invest as much in constant education, experimentation and self-driven investment in core skills. Like this blog, it will be particularly relevant for those who are in digital analytics and digital marketing. This is not the future, it is Nov 2017.
