How It Feels to Learn Data Science in 2019 – Towards Data Science

So I just have to buy a Tableau license and I'm now a data scientist? Okay, let's just take that sales pitch with a grain of salt. I may be clueless, but I know there is more to data science than making pretty visualizations. I can do that in Excel. You got to admit it is slick marketing though. Charting data is the fun stage, and they leave out the painful and time-consuming parts of working with data: cleaning, wrangling, transforming, and loading it. God help you if you need your own custom domain logic when using closed tools. Yes, and that is why I suspect there is value in learning to code. Maybe you can learn Alteryx.
