  `FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY STARTED TOO LATE TO GET INTO DATA:   I want to share something I don't see enough people talking about.   The data industry is younger than you think.   Power BI was released in 2013. Tableau only became mainstream around 2010. The job title "data analyst" as we know it today barely existed before 2008. Python for data science became accessible to non-developers around 2015 with Pandas and Jupyter.   The entire modern data stack is 10–15 years old.   Nobody has been doing this for 30 years.
