The most interesting part of the post is the conclusion where the author says that he's a data scientist who uses R and doesn't feel the need to switch to Python!

My main conclusion is to encourage developers early in their career to consider building skills in data science. We’ve seen here that it’s among the fastest-growing components of the software development ecosystem, and one that’s become relevant across many industries.
