the fact is all the knowledge that a data scientist has should already be discoverable by any decent programmer. Basically college level statistics is required to be a data scientist. If your engineer cant handle that I hope they are more frontend than backend.

Data science does have particular algorithms and analysis graphs that are unique to the field but the underlying math is set theory and statistics.

"Data scientist" is a fancy title for "smart math guy". But math without application gets you no where. You need someone to put it into the machine.

its the game that is successful not the software. This game could be written many different ways. Players dont care. Now if there is a particular pain point or glitch in the game and it can be shown that its the style of code that allowed for this to happen. That better organized code would have mitigated this bug then that is important to investigate.

But trying to figure out what a successful game is by its source code is like trying to find what makes a painting good analyzing the chemicals used to make the pigments.

Thats what he meant by the phrase "just Beat it"
