Hamdan Azhar - An Ode to Permissionless Data Science
In a recent YouTube video, Hamdan Azhar discusses the evolution of data science and the unconventional trajectory that led him into the field. His insights illuminate how the perception and practical use of data science have shifted markedly since it first gained prominence. Azhar recalls a time when his entry into data science was driven more by curiosity than by the tools and buzzwords that now dominate resumes. He critiques the trend where aspiring data scientists focus heavily on listing technical skills like machine learning and Python libraries without articulating the problems they wish to solve.
