@MkenyaMzi Healthy debate. Most traditional data scientist roles make more sense in enterprises than in SMEs. Data scientists create value when there are large datasets, complex decisions, and infrastructure to deploy models. Here is an informative article from IBM. ibm.com/think/topics/d…

There is nothing like Data Science , it is sad people think there is anything like that after EDA then what, you cant tell me data modeling that is machine learning , Data scientists is fancy name data analytics guys coined to make them feel good about themselves , anyone in STEM would be called a data scientist then. Data science is not a standalone it is tool thing, like someonewould be like I am data scientist i use matplot pandas , conda , jupyter, tableau, powerbi . Do you see where I am heading with this , now there you go. Most Software engineers with proficiency in data analytics. Tbh people call themselves Data scientist to satisfytheir ego

@MkenyaMzi Healthy debate about tech disciplines is good for the ecosystem. Data science is a global discipline combining statistics, machine learning, and software engineering to solve real business problems.

Data Science is the easiest scam to sell , it is sold by likes of Moringa and other funny funny institutions in Nairobi, the reality is , Data science doesnt exist
