Effective Data Science Solutions with Deena Gergis Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

“Doing the right thing is not equal to doing things right”. This really stuck with me after discussing how to create effective data science solutions with Deena Gergis.
It would be easy to create a solution ‘just’ from the technical side, but more often than not, your solution might not get used at all that way. Partnering with your stakeholders, and building this solution together is the right way to do it. And it starts by having an equal level conversation with each other.

Some of the topics we cover this episode, in order 👇

☑️ The differences between data science academically, and data science professionally
☑️ Doing things right vs doing the right things
☑️ Buy-in from your most important stakeholders and partners
☑️ The right balance of focus and flexibility in creating data science solutions
☑️ Hiring for emotional intelligence and leadership skills, as well as technical expertise

Creating your Own Programming Language with Felienne Hermans Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Felienne shares her journey on how she created Hedy, the programming language that helps teach kids how to program.

Creating your own programming language is a big accomplishment, but a language on its own can only go so far. With actual usage, user feedback, and continuous improvements, Hedy can truly improve the way teachers teach, and kids learn how to program.

And it's definitely on its way to do so. Hedy is available in 18 different languages, and is being used globally. Truly remarkable!

Some of the topics we cover this episode, in order 👇

☑️ Why Felienne created the Hedy programming language
☑️ Maintaining an open source programming language
☑️ Solving the initial problem, but creating new problems along the way
☑️ Dictatorship vs. Bureaucracy in adding features to programming languages
☑️ Closely listening to user feedback
