Is data science boring?

Data scientist here. You are describing maybe something more like a machine learning engineer. Could be off as that is not my title.

In my experience a data scientist is expected to be a generalist, or more like a data wizard. I started my career saying things like that is more of a data engineering task, or I don't code dashboard applications in flask. Now I just learn whatever as the needs arise.

For an idea, i have done the following working as a data scientist: - R package development - shiny app development - time series forecasting - marketing mix modelling - bunch of different simple deliveries: correlations, regressions, factor analyses, segmentation - python package developer - app development in flask and streamlit - thousands of SQL queries (postgre and SQL) - built multiple databases in redshift and mysql and using airflow - DevOps pipeline building - webscraping - excel macro builder - text analysis - computer vision model building - lots of various predictive models using a machine learning framework - model deployment - lots of custom analyses with lots of data cleaning and analyses - I code in R, python, SQL, html, CSS, and JS - there is more, but you get the point...
