WTF? I'm tired of this crap

Yes, "data professional" means nothing so I shouldn't take this seriously.

But if by chance it means "data scientist"... why this people are purposely lying? You cannot be a data scientist "without programming". Plain and simple.

Programming is not something "that helps" or that "makes you a nerd" (sic), it's basically the core job of a data scientist. Without programming, what do you do? Stare at the data? Attempting linear regression in Excel? Creating pie charts?

Yes, the whole thing …

chance core data datascience data scientist job nerd nothing people professional programming simple something wtf
