works best for you.

5. 4. Do your data science magic.
Advice: compute something, think about results,
reorganize data, compute more, reorganize again,
think more, read literature, go for a walk, come up with
an idea, try it,
fail, be frustrated, come in terms with the failure,
take a good sleep, try a new idea, clench on partial
success, think more,
have a great insight, test it, accept that the insight was
wrong, be in crisis on whether you will ever succeed,
blame it on the customer,
fail to come up with a good idea,
compute a bad idea,
wonder why it works
… keep repeating until you succeed.

look obvious.
