The part of data science no one glamorizes:
— Cleaning timestamps
— Untangling legacy SQL
— Explaining why null ≠ 0
Yet this is where real value is created. Modeling is easy compared to wrangling chaos into clarity.

Writing the 2nd edition of my data science book has reminded me of this: Students don't struggle with advanced topics. They struggle with fundamentals explained too abstractly. Teaching requires empathy, not just expertise.

MLOps isn’t a luxury. It’s a survival mechanism. If your team can’t track changes, monitor drift, or reproduce results, you're not doing machine learning. You’re doing science fiction.

The data never “speaks for itself.” It reflects your choices:
— What to measure
— What to clean
— What to ignore
Good analysis isn’t neutral. It’s aware of its own filters.

What’s the first thing you check when your model suddenly drops in performance? (And if your answer is “retrain,” you're already too late.)

When I see a report filled with p-values and no effect sizes, I worry. When I see model metrics and no baseline comparison, I worry. Statistics is more than math. It’s the discipline of contextual honesty.

I’ve interviewed hundreds of data scientists. The most hireable trait? They don’t just “build models.” They define problems, challenge assumptions, and think statistically. Tools change. That mindset doesn’t.

If your model works in the lab but fails in production, you don’t have a model—you have a demo. Success isn't accuracy on test data. It's sustained utility under real-world pressure.

After 25+ years in the field, I’ve seen trends rise and fall.
But the best data scientists still do 3 things well:
— Ask the right questions
— Validate the assumptions
— Communicate with clarity

As LLMs evolve, most companies won’t build their own models. They’ll build interfaces—tailored, vertical, context-aware. The frontier isn’t raw capability. It’s alignment with workflows.

Confidence intervals are not optional. If you're making claims without uncertainty estimates, you're storytelling—not science. Model outputs need error bars just like measurements do.
