Who is your audience?
Ask yourself: Who are you coding / writing / researching for? Data scientists have an audience, such as screenwriters or movie directors. Who is your audience?
Screen-writers, authors, bloggers, influencers and other creators all face the same question: Who is the audience?
Depending on the audience, a writer might pick more simple or more complex language or write in a more cheerful tone.
Surprise: Data scientists also have an audience.
Are you writing for…
- An open-source repository?
- Your employer?
- An academic research paper?
- The world?
- Your best friend?
It matters.
There might be a nicer, neater, or “more Python” way to solve a problem.
However, sometimes, a line by line, aggressively commented script is better for the audience.
