On this episode, I meet up with Ronglu and Catherine Kompf from Microsoft while I was at build this year.

We cover a bunch of topics around data science and talk about two opposing styles of data science development and related tooling, using notebooks in Jupiter or Python code files and editors like Visual Studio Code and PiCharm.

The conversation was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.
