Spent some time looking into software teams' effectiveness, and how software teams can use data to reflect and improve how they work. These days I'm trying to learn more about Statistical Process Control.

As data scientists, our greatest impact isn't in delivering more precise answers - it's in improving the quality of the questions being asked. That's why I'm not worried about AI "taking our jobs," though it can definitely help us do them better.
The image shows a graph plotting "Quality of question" vs "Strength of evidence." It features three paths: an ideal but unrealistic path starting from high quality question, a path showing statistical/ML progression from a poor question to a poor question with a precise answer, and the "job of the data scientist" path that progresses along both question quality and strength of evidence.
