Have you met the pie chart’s evil cousin: the radar chart. It may not be as ubiquitous as the pie, but it can be more nefarious.
If you aspire to be a data scientist, you’re really aspiring to be a data wrangler. You see, 80% of your working hours will be spent wrangling the data. That’s on average. On some projects, you will spend more than 100% of your “working” hours with your lasso. I hope you enjoy that sort of thing.
