You're not a real data scientist unless you've written your own libraries in C??
I couldn't get past the inferiority complex masquerading as a confident appeal to authority.
Maybe the rest of the article was good but the taste of vomit wasn't worth it to me.
no one said this
if you had actually read the article instead of just reacting to it, you would probably understand that the purpose of the second paragraph is to lead to the first section where he tears down the field of data science as full of opportunistic hucksters, shambling in pantomime of knowledgeable people. he's bragging about his creds, sure, but it's pretty clearly there to lend credence that he knows what he's talking about when he starts talking about the people that "had not gotten as far as reading about it for thirty minutes" before trying to blindly pivot their companies to "AI".
hello? oh, yes, i'll have one drive-by projection with a side of name-dropped fallacy. yes, reddit-style please. and a large soda
"not reading" isn't a virtue
i've always enjoyed* the style of HN comment "I stopped reading when I got to [basic historical fact I misread]"

Maybe the rest was good. That was bad. My critique is constrained to that specific, nauseating paragraph.
christ just stop

sorry, it's you
Is it a common theme to shit on people for not having rollied their own C implemtations or was that a one off lapse of judgment on their part?
you stopped reading already, so we'll never know
and they were just so proud to come here and brag about how they didn’t read the relatively short, extremely well-received article that is the topic of this thread, because they took issue with the tone of the second paragraph and decided policing that was an adequate replacement for reading and engaging with the fucking text
like, fuck almighty even if I’m quotemining a post I don’t like for sneering material I’m still at least skimming halfway, and we specialize in sneering at some real long-winded motherfuckers
