I have to agree on this point. Shit will happen, it's how you handle it that matters.

Maybe a younger developer is brilliant but arrogant and dismissive of others.

Maybe a senior team member lays low not producing and piggybacking off of what others are doing

My biggest issue was feeling comfortable enough to directly ask people to work on specific projects / pieces of work.

thank you for post this article here - it's easily one of the best articles I've ever had the pleasure of reading through

You don't need to have a CS degree to be in "Data Scientist". In fact, I would argue that you need a statistics degree. There is a difference between a data scientist and an engineer.
