Why it stuck
The OG behind every “let’s just run a quick regression” comment in a meeting; without this, half of analytics jobs (including mine) are just colorful charts and vibes.
My take
Reading Gauss is like watching prime Tim Duncan highlights: boring on the surface, but the fundamentals are so clean you can’t not respect it.
