Autonomy and ownership are core to working at Stitch Fix, particularly on the Algorithms team. Data Scientists are expected to build their systems end to end and maintain them in the long run. We rely on automation, documentation, and collaboration to enable data scientist to build and maintain production services. In this talk I will discuss what we have built and how we communicate about these tools with our data scientists.
The next edition is programmed by practitioners. Tell us what you built and what you learned.
