The buffet is one such place in a restaurant where we have everything to eat but we do skip some. Here is my buffet story which I’m trying the buffet system to technology we use.
What is a buffet system: “A buffet is a meal-serving system where patrons serve themselves. It’s a popular method of feeding large numbers of people with minimal staff”**(copied).

You can be a programmer, data modeler, Analyst, QA, Data visualization expert, product manager, Admin — there are 36+ valid roles in data science. Below example for reference

- SQL — helps you become a good data visualization expert, helps you to manage your own analysis, helps you to communicate and interact with large data sets
- Programming is always a perfect choice as you need to deal with mixed data — the same as having like few starters and soup at the same time.
- How do you plan your buffet system plays a vital role, …….
