Also, the article does state what Hadley's take on the question is: "As Wickham defines data science as “the process by which data becomes understanding, knowledge, and insight”, he advocates using data science tools where value is gained from iteration, surprise, reproducibility, and scalability. In particular, he argues that being a data scientist and being programmer are not mutually exclusive and that using a programming language helps data scientists towards understanding the real signal within their data. "

Did you watch all of Hadley's video? You might get the title more if you saw/see the whole talk :)

San Francisco CA Full-time / Onsite

New, somewhat stealth startup, for profit company focused on social good.

We have a very talented team so far comprised of : full stack web dev, data architect, 2 junior software engineers, CTO, CEO (me), 2 marketing people, and a business operations person.

We are looking to add a designer and devops.

We work out of the top floor of my house for now - it is a comfortable space. We have funding. The team members we have so far are wonderful to work with, everyone gets along well, and we all feel like what we are building is work that matters.

Please email me if you want to hear more about the team, the stack, and the product.

So excited so see Common Crawl data be useful for such fascinating work!

I work at Common Crawl :)

Love this idea!!

Great question and great blog post! I am looking forward to reading the Homay King stuff that uses Queer Theory and will probably reread Computing Machinery and Intelligence more thoroughly.

I played around with Prismatic before but it just didn’t grab me and I found I didn’t use it that much.

This new version is a whole different animal. Not only is it much prettier (great design) but they seem to have seriously improved their relevance algorithms. I would be very interested to hear from their data team why the relevance is so much better now - anyone from Prismatic monitoring these comments?

There will be news about a subset sometime next month!
