Want to run A/B tests at your company?

I've spent the last 16 months building an experimentation program - the processes, infra, and teams to run large scale online experiments.

@girdley Hmm the book description I found doesn’t really fit my memory.

I appreciate your help though!

If you have a web copy of an email you sent in the last 2 months with book recs, can you share? If not, no worries and thanks again!

[Luigi Patruno @MLinProduction]

@girdley in one of your “top book” emails you mentioned a book about people whose minds work very quickly and tire others out. I can’t find that email! Mind sharing the book title?

[Luigi Patruno @MLinProduction]

@tsludwig I love it, too. His SOM case studies are incredible - very helpful to a new searcher like myself.

I had a great time chatting with @edweber1 (SrDir. Data at Stitch Fix) about leading data science teams to maximize business impact! Let us know what you think : )

I had a great time talking about Lessons on Data Teams Leadership in AI with @Dpbrinkm at the @mlopscommunity Podcast. You can check out the whole conversation at https://t.co/h6Gvem0mwb.

Thanks for having me on (again)!

Curious if there are any online “start a business” courses that aren’t actually scams/just selling dreams.

I’m trying to steel man the case for these courses.

Happy to hear from students who’ve taken such a course, course creators, anyone else.

[Luigi Patruno @MLinProduction]

@JoeCassandra Totally agree

If you want to move up in your career: 1) find the (metrics that matter AND you can influence) 2) move them in the right direction 3) let others know.

Doesn’t matter what level you’re currently at.

@fortelabs Always be taking action. Always be learning along the way. Taking action also happens to be the best way to learn.

@findingmerit @ColinKeeley Interesting. Admittedly all I know about him came from the article I shared.

[Luigi Patruno @MLinProduction]

@findingmerit @ColinKeeley Who does? Robert smith?

@valeness84 @gbrew5555 @sahil_vi @TaraViswanathan Why not?

@elonmusk learn some muay thai and you’ll be fine

@Shpigford Just started using @instapaper few weeks ago. I love it

[Luigi Patruno @MLinProduction]

@valeness84 @gbrew5555 @sahil_vi @TaraViswanathan Gdocs can train a classifier/anomaly detector to see if it was written at a “human” pace or not would be interesting

Data science ~= better business decision making

It’s just another tool in your arsenal. But it’s a superpower.

Use it to you to optimize every biz function and build better and new products.

E.g (small) better lead target leads in marketing or (big) acquire entire companies

Love @ColinKeeley s content. Highly recommend

They scaled to $10s of million in revenue in just a few years.
