Data Science May Never Be the Same

I've spent a lot of time talking about what it takes to become a "real" data scientist. I still believe these skills are imperative if you want to be a legitimate data scientist. However, I think the discipline is about to experience a significant change in how it emphasizes each of these characteristics. And as such, data science may never be the same. When the first machine learning "platforms" came about, most of the data science community was pretty skeptical.
