Preludes to my red pill as a data scientist.

It took me a long process of reflection and self-adjustment to transcend all that. In this article, I detail the course of my first five years of experience, which started with grotesque innocence and led me to a satisfying form of maturity at the end. My engineering background gave me a fairly consistent and enriched algorithmic, mathematical and computer-science-based arsenal. I was trained to model a complex problem, in whichever domain I was involved with. My interlocutors until then were my professors. I trained myself and got used against my will to associate problems with complexity. Each time I was confronted with a new problem in a different subject, I added a new layer of complexity, in a view to maximizing my gratification in the form of an evaluation grade.
