These terms mean different things in different places, but I feel like "data science" is much of what software engineering was supposed to be before a bunch of monkeys in suits attempted to commoditize our work: an apolitical arena where smart people thrive on the basis of their ability to solve very hard problems.
I joined a company where I had the option of working in data science or on "architecture". Since it was small, I figured starting in architecture early on, and moving into data when they had more (data, that is) was the way to go. Big mistake. So. Fucking. Political.
