What sort of fucking asshole decided to name it "data science"? We already have a "science of studying data", it's called Statistics...

Buzzwords everywhere.

This.

Totally agree.

I think the idea was that stats people kept ignoring data wrangling, but that’s probably just generational.

I think the data science people are now trying to steal decision analysis as they now realise how stupid it was to focus on data.

A data scientist is a person who knows how to use GROUP BY in SQL and lives in California.

A data scientist is the statistician version of the idiot who thought they don't need maths because they just want to make games.

Wait until you hear the word “AI”.

Wait.. does that mean I'm actually a data scientist, since I'm dealing with some (boring) BI / SSAS stuff once in a while? (I don't live in California though..)

GubMint/media further obfuscating occupations?
