In part two of our conversation with Julia Silge, we discuss how work actually ships: the boundaries, the glue, and the tools that turn noise into signal. From there, we go macro and wonder what the LLM era means for humanity’s contributions, plus how licensing is evolving to protect sustainability without abandoning openness.
Episode notes
Both practical and philosophical, this conversation spans workplace energy, team connective tissue, and the big questions LLMs have us asking in a shifting data science landscape.
