What can ML actually do for a business? Liz Howard founded and runs an ML-enabled product business, using technologies labed "AI" for the maximum possible number of things as the thesis of the business. There are quite a few things AI can do for us, but not everything (yet.) AI is really more of a story than it is a technology? What about the copyright implications of AI Art? Liz will discuss what she actually uses AI technologies for & if it's worth it.

We know that not every line of code is equally valuable, but how do you work on valuable things? Developers obsess over frameworks and code quality, but in reality the best outcomes are more determined by product-market-founder fit than code quality. Swyx is a former hedge fund investor turned developer and has some interesting thoughts based on seeing through 2 unicorn startups.

This is the story of an A/B test which failed miserably. What seemed like a brilliant idea lead to the conversion rate and revenue per visitor fall inexplicably through the floor. In the series of epiphanies which follow, our protagonist happens upon the realisation that his failure actually saved his employer millions of pounds.

Watch the YouTube HERE: https://youtu.be/PzU6e0S5N18 ABOUT OUR GUEST

Oliver Palmer ran his first A/B test back in 2008 while contracting at a London law firm. He discovered with a handful of experiments and a few false starts that he was able to halve their cost of acquisition on Google’s most notoriously expensive PPC keyword.

Since then, in addition to working as an experimentation practitioner, Oliver works as a consultant and coach to help enterprise businesses become more adept at running business experiments at scale. You can learn more at oliverpalmer.com.

Emily Hill spent 6 LONG years learning to program. After receiving a BS in CS with a 4.0 her final two years of college, she still couldn't code her way out of a paper bag. Clearly, more school was the solution, and she enrolled in a PhD program in CS. In the end, she still had to teach herself! Since her eureka moment, Emily has made it her mission to demystify the art of programming & software development by teaching aspiring coders how to work smarter, not harder.

Dr. Emily Hill is a software engineering trainer, educator, & mother of 4 kiddos. After teaching problem solving & coding skills to college students for over 10 years as a tenured professor, she realized she could teach the same skills faster, better, and cheaper outside of the university, where she helps learners realize their dreams of becoming 6 figure developers. She is the founder of the Joy of Coding Academy (joyofcoding.academy).
