126: Data Science and Software Engineering Practices ( and Fizz Buzz ) - Joel Grus

Researches and others using data science and software need to follow solid software engineering practices. This is a message that Joel Grus has been promoting for some time. Joel joins the show this week to talk about data science, software engineering, and even Fizz Buzz. Topics include: Software Engineering practices and data science Difficulties with Jupyter notebooks Code reviews on experiment code Unit tests on experiment code Finding bugs before doing experiments Tests for data pipelines Tests for deep learning models Showing researchers the value of tests by showing the bugs found that wouldn't have been found without them. "Data Science from Scratch" book Showing testing during teaching Data Science "Ten Essays on Fizz Buzz" book Meditations on Python, mathematics, science, engineerign and design Testing Fizz Buzz Different algorithms and solutions to an age old interview question. If not Fizz Buzz, what makes a decent coding interview question. pytest hypothesis Math requirements for data science Special Guest: Joel Grus.Sponsored By:PyCharm Professional: Try PyCharm Pro for 4 months and learn how PyCharm will save you time.
