12:00 "Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence." 😊 Wise words indeed. This was a nice interview. I like Katie's determination to get a data scientist job even if some employers considered her under-qualified. Perseverance (backed by skills and smart strategy) wins most of the time.
Damn, she's amazing, I'd love to have her as my boss. She's asking all of the right questions (e.g. on strategy), she clearly identifies key issues (legacy tech stack and how address it), she seems very down-to-earth and she's actually willing to learn. 10/10 wish my boss was like her.
She was so articulate and made it an awesome interview! Actually got me interested in data science. They should get her to do more data science related interviews i think it would inspire up and coming data scientists.
I did an internship once where I had to do the time on site metric but for an app by parsing the log files. It was pretty challenging as you have said where the timestamps mess up frequently and it looks like some sessions last for days (which is not true). The way I solved it is by putting safety limits like, if the time between two consecutive actions of the same user is more than, say, 1 hour, then consider it to be a new session. Also, there were also a lot of weird cases which had to be taken care of like, the home pang landing event was being recorded before the app open event.
Great interview! She’s very articulate. I would love to watch her in more interviews. In data science, particularly as a machine learning engineer, are the maths behind the algorithms and models really that essential to understand or is a high level of understanding enough and execution of the model is of importance?
As a machine Learning engineer myself, i would say yes,> Having a high level of mathematical undestanding is core for that position. This is mainly due to the fact that the job involves a lot of optimization methods to decrease the use of ressources your model/program use. Knowing how to excecute the model is the easy part, which any data scientist should be able to do.
12:00 What she meant was some bad things happen not because of people having bad intentions, but because they did not think it through properly. Correct me if I was wrong.
Yes but also assume it is a mistake or incompetence that causes something until proven otherwise. Instead of what our reptilian instincts have us do by default which is "find the villain" (essentially the opposite order of what the quote suggests). You'll be a lot less angry in life and have more ability to solve problems if you can follow the advice of the quote.
Most big corporations that people believe to be evil by some intention at the top are "evil" as a result of a lot of people in the company (from top to bottom) making not carefully enough thought through moves, mistakes, and just not being aware of the bigger picture of how everything adds up to what their company does and taking responsibility for how they add to it.
"Evil companies" are the default. Especially the bigger a company gets. No one has to have a plan to make a company evil for it to happen. They just have to lack a plan to be good and not do the hard work to make sure they are. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke
Great interview! Sorry a basic question from a cat lover. But why do we draw the conclusion that people care more about their cats when what's wrong with your dogs is higher in time on site? Doesn't it mean that people spend more time on webpages about dog than cats so people care more about dogs? Maybe I am understanding something wrong here...

10:22 Getting to know Katie!
4:00 It's a newer profession
Job Posting: 8 to 10 years of experience
😂
@Lee Rozzelle yes without using this new cutting edge machine learning and ai technologies and still asking to be experienced for those skills :D
I am THE ZUCC Data Scientist do not have issues finding jobs and has been voted as the best job in America numerous times. You mean history major.
@@mariqstigler2197 data science is just an overrated statistician

I see you in comments section of every data scientist videos. Are you one?
This is one of the most genuine Data Scientist interviews I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Austin! You might also appreciate our newest DS Real Talk: th-cam.com/video/lUaKgFvf42A/w-d-xo.html

Katie is one of the nicest data scientists I've ever seen over the internet. Thanks for doing this interview. 🙏
Wisest motto I have ever heard! "Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence."
One of the coolest data scientists ever! Good interview.
shutup u horny fuck
@@jel1951 Lmao whats wrong with you?
omg such style!! such confidence!!
Great questions, Eliza. Those answers provided so many valuable insights. I appreciate you and Katie very much for doing this.
She’s mad articulate
shutup u horny fuck
@@jel1951 Sad how you can't compliment a woman without being accused of wanting to fuck her.
Sounds like projection mate.
she's so cool. I'd love to work for reddit when I graduate.

She worked in ad industry, most of them tend to be really articulate especially the upper management

This is really good and helpful for aspiring people. Please keep posting more!!!
i forget that Reddit is an actual like JOB THING YA KNOW
AAAAAHHH KATIE IS SO COOL!!!! CONGRATS TO HER SUCCESS AT REDDIT
Really awesome interview! The questions were good and answers very informative. Honestly one of the best data scientist videos I've seen so far.
wwooo,, this lady caries a great charisma. Great interview, thanks
shutup u horny fuck
@@jel1951 Shut-up asshole
"The most direct career path into data science is being a Jaded physics PhD." LOL as a theoretical physics PhD now data scientist here.
10:10 really resonates with --> that you shouldn't stress about not knowing things
Dogs have friends. Cats have staff. 🤯

when i watch your videos, i feel more motivated and inspired :D . thanks a lot
Her voice is so relaxing!
shutup u horny fuck
@@jel1951 Someone had to say it
@8:00 yes the best data scientists I know were physics phds
4/20 date on the time-on-site metric query. Coincidence? I think not.
it was 42,469 views, is 69 coincidence?
best interview yet
Great interview, felt like I could relate to this alot
Great interview. She seems really knowledgable on data science. I feel like i saw her before on a data science panel.
Great video! Thank you
Founding Data Scientist?

I’m a little in love with her. She’s so cool
Thank you for this ..
she seems like a nice person unlike most programmers.
That's because she's not a programmer.
So she is a Data Scientist at Reddit
She has seen some dark shit.i
She's adorable
Good
Who else wants shae to come back
no one
Im lost...people were more worried about cats yet whats wrong with your dog polled the most. Maybe im missing labels?
She's talking about subreddits. r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog is more popular, but when you add all the cat subreddits, cats win
It’s because dog owners are hanging out with their dogs and not on reddit lol
She looks like she could be in a Rom Com hehe. Beauty with brains. No offence. She is smarter than me But damn shes cute!
And she's graceful too, i wish more women could be like her...
i have lots of AI ideas for startups
Симпотмчная, умная, я повержен .
rush b
Is that her???
no
Beauty with brain😂
She's cute,
your logo triggers
"Data science". What a weird sequence of words to say. There's no science here. Most of it is not even scientific in any way
Can I get that woman's number?
no
