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.
