As the quantity of data on our planet doubles every couple of years and with this trend set to continue for decades to come, there's an unprecedented opportunity for you to make a meaningful impact in your lifetime. In conversation with the biggest names in the data science industry, Jon cuts through hype to fuel that professional impact. Whether you're curious about getting started in a data career or you're a deep technical expert, whether you'd like to understand what A.I. is or you'd like to integrate more data-driven processes into your business, we have inspiring guests and lighthearted conversation for you to enjoy. We cover tools, techniques, and implementation tricks across data collection, databases, analytics, predictive modeling, visualization, software engineering, real-world applications, commercialization, and entrepreneurship − everything you need to crush it with data science.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T00:21:00.507750+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/super-data-science"},"episode":{"title":"999: What's Left to Build When Software Is Free, with Chip Huyen","slug":"999-what-s-left-to-build-when-software-is-free-with-chip-huyen","published_at":"2026-06-09T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/super-data-science/999-what-s-left-to-build-when-software-is-free-with-chip-huyen","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/super-data-science","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/chrt.fm/track/E581B9/arttrk.com/p/VI4CS/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/SUPERDATASCIENCEPTYLTD7992118381.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/chrt.fm/track/E581B9/arttrk.com/p/VI4CS/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/SUPERDATASCIENCEPTYLTD7992118381.mp3","summary":"Chip Huyen joins host Jon Krohn for this milestone episode 999 to talk about her record-breaking book \"AI Engineering\" the most-read title on the O'Reilly platform last year and how the AI landscape has shifted since her last appearance. Chip breaks down what separates AI engineering from machine learning engineering, makes the case for a \"start simple\" workflow, gets candid about the real costs of running LLMs in production, and shares why she's now fascinated by physical AI, robotics, and world models and why the durable problems worth solving are increasingly human ones. Jon Krohn guides the conversation from the practical content of the book through to where the field is heading next.
