I was thinking of things like modeling, numeric analysis, various ML inference and clustering techniques. Building end-to-end tools like apps and websites. Some kinds of research summaries or publication searches to figure out the next step in a specific query.
Less so “software engineering” or “organizing people”, which are incredibly important, but too diffuse to actually do as a goal. They are things you’ll get good at while pursuing actual topics and deliverables you care about.
