5 stages of data science

Denial: there’s no way I’m running out of memory my code is fine
Anger: how can processing data need all this memory!?
Bargaining: maybe I can sample the data
Depression: I’ll never get to make a model
Acceptance: *starts an pricy EC2 with tons of RAM*
10x researchers

Professors, if you ever come across this rare breed of researchers, grab them. If you have a 10x researcher as part of your lab, you increase the odds of winning a Turing award significantly.
OK, here is a tough question.
How do you spot a 10x researcher?
That 10x thread started new internet memes and made the term “10x engineer” a controversial term, so in the end things turned out okay ...

I find it easier to recruit data scientists in log-scale. https://t.co/LEPaPdCbm4

Manager: What are you doing?! Production is down!
— Vicki Boykis (@vboykis) July 13, 2019
Me: Oops.
Manager: I thought you said you were a 10x engineer?!
Me: Well I am, but my productivity level is a multiple of the other engineers at the company, who are all 0x.

10x Data Scientists are Kaggle Grandmasters. They win solo gold medals in all Kaggle competitions, yet they spend no time on Kaggle because they work 18 hour days on their day job.

Founders if you ever come across this rare breed of Data Scientists, grab them. If you have a 10x Data Scientist as part of your starting Data Science team, you increase the odds of your startup success significantly.

Interviewer: lastly and most importantly, are you ready to die inside when a customer has a problem?

Me: well, um, this is a little embarrassing. I've actually been dead inside for years! [DreamWorks face] https://t.co/1f6Uz9UfPC
If Twitter arguments about base #rstats vs #tidyverse are getting you down, just remind yourself that everyone on both sides will inevitably die and nothing that any of them have ever said or done will have amounted to anything. #DataScience #Statistics

They use a very efficient single-layer neural network called logistic regression. https://t.co/Rj1Wv8odwL

When companies need to contact you: "Please us give your person phone number and email so we can reach you whenever we feel like. This is a required field."
