Скачать или смотреть XCamp Keynote: Experimentation, How Big Tech is Constantly Iterating

Big tech companies like Twitter and Meta are constantly experimenting: trying new variations of their UI, features, machine learning models, etc, to try to optimize against their goals. These experiments involve many people, experts in various fields, including the key role of Data Scientist. In this talk Nate will discuss how these projects are run - how companies decide what to test, how to test it, and how goals are decided - and how you can bring the essence of this experimentation and iteration to your own sites, apps, and projects without needing a team of software engineers and data scientists. Along the way he’ll share anecdotes from his over two decade-long career, which began in Saskatoon working for the likes of zu, Yardi, and VividWorks, to his more recent adventures getting fired by Elon Musk, and how the spirit of experimentation and data has been present at every stage and at every company. Doesn’t that sound amazing? It’s not. Nate’s inflated ego and mislead sense of self should serve as a lesson in humility and the need to stay grounded, otherwise one day a billionaire might crush all your dreams.
