#2Wow, too much data science/ machine learning hype into one article. If you are a Physicist that can make machine learning models doesn't that make you a coder also? Furthermore, they give two examples who weren't Computer Science students but I'm sure I can find a counterexample to this.

#3Shameless clickbait.
TL;DR: Some physicists have become software developers because it pays better than being a physicist. Physicists are smart people overall so they are well suited to solving complex problems that one encounters when developing software.

#4move over javascript, matlab will soon rule silicon valley!
edit: this is just a tongue in cheek comment that physicists will rule silicon valley with about the same chance of success matlab will be used for enterprise dev.

Move over matlab, numpy will soon rule data science!

Javascript will use Numpy and then both will rule data science.

#8Physicists have been taking jobs as software engineers since the 90s. Career-wise, physics is the comparative literature of the exact sciences.

#9Physicists are one hell of science and engineering badasses.
I know many physicists who became hardware engineers and even software engineers when they needed it. I know no software/hardware engineer who became physicist.

you must be thinking mechanical engineers. Real Physicists use fortran.
