- *Lowering the Stakes of Failure with Pre-mortems and Post-mortems*
By: Elizabeth Sander
Experience Level: Novice
Failure can be scary. There are real costs to a company and its users
when software crashes, models are inaccurate, or when systems go down.
The emotional stakes feel high-- no one wants to be responsible for a
failure. We can lower the stakes by creating spaces to learn
from failures,
and minimize their impact. This talk introduces two ways to address
failure: blameless post-mortems, to learn from an incident; and
pre-mortems, to identify modes of failure upfront.
- *Web Scraping for Fun and Profit (Profit not Included)*
By: Matt Inwood
Experience Level: Intermediate
Not all data is easily accessible. Taking info from a website that
requires authentication, interaction, or even just to load a
fancy script.
This talk will discuss using Selenium to level up your web
scraping skills,
with examples and suggested practices.
- *Limit the Guesswork in Fantasy Baseball by Using Python for Data
Analysis*
By: Nicholas Marey
Experience Level: Intermediate
Daily fantasy sports has become a booming industry. One leader in the
space is Fanduel who after raising $275 million in their series
E funding,
brought their valuation to over $1 billion. As the popularity of daily
fantasy sports has taken off, critics have argued that success is the
result of luck; yet the consistent success of a select group of players
would suggest that success can be driven by skill. This talk,
will go over
how one could use Python to level the playing field.
