every-data-scientist-should-know 🤔

A collection of (mostly) technical things every data scientist should know 📈 📉

☝️ These are resources I can recommend to every data scientist regardless of their skill level or tech stack

This is a s/programmer/data-scientist/g of every-programmer-should-know by @mtdvio. That means two things: 1. I take no credit for the idea of creating this page, I just wanted one for data-science and 2. things that are purely related to software development will not be the focus of this page, though there may be limited duplication.

What do YOU think every data scientist should know?

This list is far from complete/correct. Add/remove as you wish...

(see Contributions)

As in the original, all of the following applies:

Highly opinionated 💣. Not backed by science.
Comes in no particular order ♻️

U like it? ⭐ it and share with a friendly data scientis! U don't like it? Watch the doggo 🐶

P.S. You don't need to know all of that by heart to be a data scientist.
But knowing the stuff will help you become better! 💪

P.P.S. Contributions are welcome!*
