How Did Data Science Contribute During Pandemic?

The Covid-19 has been a battle of technology with nature, while the world was already enjoying a high-tech lifestyle taking about nature being understood well, robot taking care of all the needs, we thought we didn't need anything supernatural to decide our lifestyle, we can create our own climate, crops don't need rain anymore, water can be artificially created, no more dependence on fossil fuels for energy, fight against the unprecedented pandemic has slowed us down to start thinking from the base again.

Yes, one of the fanciest jobs of the decade being "Data Scientist" meant almost "Know It All". But it also means the availability of data is the prime need. Can data science work without data? Of course not. But yet played a role since the first data point found.

I can code in 9 different programming language, Does that help? Does this increase my chances of getting hike? How did I learn? How do I switch on/off mode for different languages?  Programming languages are about compatibility of the system, about the legacy of the utility and comfort of programmer. Be it either of these in picture, its important to know what you are doing and have logic in mind. Like any other spoken language, computer languages are about communication in the easiest possible way. My personal favorite is Python. Its free, its mature, its flexible, its fast, its easy to learn and most importantly its a popular language in demand.  Simple:  Python is a readable and understandable language.  Free:  This programming technology is free and open.  Compatible:  Python offers compatibility with various platforms.  Object-oriented:  Python supports procedure-oriented and object-oriented programming.  Libraries:  There are ...
