In this episode, Chris Stoll a Sr Software Architect at Skiplist joins Andrew and me to discuss Machine Learning. Both have Masters in Computer Science and tons of experience in this space. Machine learning is not just an algorithm or a black box. There are biases in data that all companies need to be aware of. Some can be costly if not properly addressed. This is also why diversity is so important to any organization. Maybe you don’t need machine learning in the beginning. Find out when is the right time. We also get into discussing Pokemon Go and why Facebook is on the hot seat again.

In this episode, we discuss why the underlying software architecture should never be overlooked. We discuss areas engineers can improve outcomes. Simple improvements we can all make such as creating better documentation and thinking about the future.

We discuss building incredible software. There is nothing more expensive and wasteful than sending thought-less software to production.
