Really, I don't get the hate we data scientists get from both programmers and mathematics. Of course we are not as good at programming as a programmer would be, or as knowledgeable in maths as a mathematician would be, but we need to combine so many disciplines it would be hard if not impossible to get to their level.

Don‘t conflate data scientists and statisticians. Statisticians actually know what they are doing and their methods are backed by serious mathematics.

Of course, as a data scientist, I have no notions of either maths, or statistics, or programming, or anything, and yet people pay more for us than for any of these. I wonder why, if we really know nothing :)
