I continue to be impressed by the ease of doing machine learning with Pycaret.

This is especially great for #R people that want to learn #Python.

Let me explain...

#DataScience #Rstats Image
As many of you know, my primary data science toolkit is #R. ❤️

I've been doing data science in production at @bizScienc and developing open-source R software for over 10 years.

- Modeltime (+4 ecosystem pkgs)
- Timetk
- Tidyquant
- CorrelationFunnel
But, I interact with team members and interface with clients...

and their language of choice is often Python.

It's refreshing that I can quickly switch to Python when needed, and not need to write 5000 lines of #ScikitLearn code to do basic machine learning.
Case in point- here's the code to create an #XGBoost model AND hyperparameter tune.

2 lines of code (thanks to #Pycaret).
And if you want to learn how to transition your R data science workloads to Python, I have a new course that is coming in 2 weeks!

Python for Machine Learning and APIs.

Learn more & join the course waitlist to see what I have cooking!

#AI isn't going to take your data science job.

But the #recession might.

Here's how this trend is unfolding from Big #Tech to the broader job market (and how to prepare)...

#datascience #career Image
For the better part of a decade, Big #Tech was on a hiring spree.

Companies like #Amazon, #Microsoft, and #Meta overhired. And that's OK when things are going well.

But then 2022 hit and Big Tech had its worst decline since 2008.
And in January 2023, with CEOs seeking to protect their stock prices, companies like:

Amazon,
PayPal, and
Microsoft

...all announced deep cuts to employees.

Data science is evolving.

And the cold, hard fact is: Your Career Is On The Line.

If your projects aren't making it into production, your job has a bullseye on it 🎯

Time to smarten up. Here's how.

#datascience #career #python Image
Data science is different today than it was in 2022.

Why?
In 2022, companies were OK with hiring 15+ person data science teams...

The "hype" hiring was that AI would solve all problems...

Grow revenues.
Cut Costs.
Make MONEY (aka profit)

A big mistake I see data scientists making: Learning tools they never use.

I did this.

And here’s how to fix it.

#datascience #rstats Image
A classic case of learning everything is mean, median, and mode.

Data scientists learn how to use all 3 of these.

Median and mean I use almost every day.

But I can count on one hand how often I have used mode.
The same applies to machine learning, data wrangling, and visualization.

There are 1000's of things you could learn.

But what should you spend your time learning?

My friend Rafael Nicolas Fermin Cota (Nico) pointed me to this modified graphic from a Harvard Business Review Article on "Prioritizing Which Data Science Skills Your Company Needs".
With ChatGPT, AI, and the "trendiness" of buzzwords, this graphic becomes even more dangerous. hbr.org/2018/10/priori…
