Podcast: Software engineering + data science

In episode 2 of our podcast “So you think you’re a data scientist”, Troy Sadowsky and I are joined by John Hawkins, author of the forthcoming book “Getting Data Science Done”. We explore how software engineering and data science work together for production projects. The two disciplines have some very different starting assumptions, which often leads to challenges in productionising data science code. We look at how data scientists and software engineers can learn from each other to move projects through to success.
