The submitted article was https://blog.dominodatalab.com/data-scientist-programmer-mut... with the title "Data Scientist? Programmer? Are They Mutually Exclusive?"

Since it summarizes a talk, we changed the URL to that of the talk, in keeping with the HN guidelines' request for original sources (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

So, it really isn't an improvement.

Anyone can skim the blog and get the gist of a 75 minute talk-a-thon in seconds, and move right along.

The presentation is just beating a dead horse about text expressions edited ina text editor and/or executed at the command line, and interpretted by R, vs. button clicking in R, in a nice IDE that's comfortable and approachable for non-programmers.

E.G. le tooling debate du jour, oui oui, monsieur...

OK, we'll change back to the text post but keep the title from the original talk. Maybe that will satisfy everybody...
