Ask HN: How to go from data science to software engineering?
3 by agnosticmantis | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I’m a data scientist working in Tech, and have decent programming skills for a data science position, but don’t have a software engineering background. I’ve found that I don’t quite enjoy the ad hoc nature of the profession, moving from one small project to another completely different one. I’d rather work on a project that builds something and the effort accumulates into something more tangible than an analysis report. What’s the optimal way to learn the necessary software engineering skills and move to such a role?
