Published: Oct. 11, 2023, 11 a.m.

Today I had the pleasure of bringing Tyler Richards back on the show. Last time I talked with him, he was a data scientist at Meta who had just written a book on Streamlit. Now he actually works at Streamlit and is releasing a second edition of his book. He joined Streamlit right before the were purchased by Snowflake and in this episode we talk about his experience going through an acquisition, landing a job at streamlit, and why more data scientists don't pursue entrepreneurial projects.
