Nine lessons learned during my first year as a Data Scientist

Full disclosure, I don't know if I consider myself a true Data Scientist. In fact, I would argue that there is no true, universally accepted definition of a Data Scientist -- the job title is a victim of overuse with its meaning muddied by a deluge of marketing hype and buzzword mania. I like to view myself as a Problem Solver, where data is my language, data science is my toolkit, and business results are my guiding force.
