Every data scientist is also a software developer. Whether they are creating simple visualizations or complex machine learning systems, there is significant coding that goes into every analysis. Software developers have created numerous tools and procedures to make the software development process easier,  more efficient, and more collaborative, as well as to promote quality control.
