Data Science

Unix forms a foundation that is often very helpful for accomplishing other goals you might have for you and your computer, whether that goal is running a business, writing a book, curing disease, or creating the next great app. The means to these goals are sometimes carried out by writing software.

Software is a hand-made, often bespoke good. If a software developer is an artisan, then Unix is their workbench.
