Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step:老子 Laozi
I have known this ancient Chinese wisdom for quite some time but knowing something doesn’t mean same as acting on it.
I know data scientist the hot job from last few years and I might be late to the party. But I procrastinate and push things as much as I can. One simple way that I found to get over procrastination is by writing about and in process of writing you can reflect over it. I have been learning off and on from last one year about field of data science and ‘AI’. But even being in a job where I play with data all time didn’t meant that I am transitioning to a career of Data science.
So I decided to catalog my journey in form of a blog.
In last one year I have learned lot of theory online about data science and promise of the silver bullet. Also detailed analysis how it’s going to disrupt all jobs that we do now including governance.
I am seeing that first hand in China and how authorities are using algorithms to make policy decisions and the promise of AI to make the Chinese dream come true.
I have learned enough Python to be dangerous and the done some courses on IBM Data Science badge on Coursera. But last couple of months my attention was on other things and I am back to square one!
I will start from where I left and will share about courses and other resources that I find helpful.
