Still pushing around things – what really helped me was to see it like a "travel guide". There are different "sights" at the (moving) edge of the possible/thinkable, and I wanted it to be somehow more than just a "trip through time".
Cool - I'll sign up and look forward to see what comes up.
A long time ago I shopped around a non-fiction book roughly titled "The Future of the The Future of Work" that looked at what people talked about / wrote about / researched as "The Future of Work" and how that could help us shape our thinkinkg of what the future of work would actually look like. Very niche and naval gaze-y, but really entertaining.
No worries. I clicked and browsed for a bit and thought- wait a minute. I think I saw something similar to this! Searched for a bit and found it :) thanks for sharing it - found a few new books for my collection.
- ask your engineers who they are learning their skills from (YouTube / blog posts / universities / online courses / etc)
- go and ask those people who they would recommend in the specific area you are working on (consulting fees for an hour chat are a normal part in this world)
- if a few names come up, those will be your 10x engineers
There's a bunch of other books/courses/videos on o'reilly.
Another potential way to approach this learning goal is to look at Evan's tools (https://www.evanmiller.org/ab-testing/) and go into each one and then look at the JS code for running the tools online.
See if you can go through and comment/write out your thoughts on why it's written that way. of course, you'll have to know some JS for that, but it might be helpful to go through a file like (https://www.evanmiller.org/ab-testing/sample-size.js) and figure out what math is being done.
PS - if you are looking for more of the academic side (cutting edge, much harder statistics), you can start to look at recent work people are doing with A/B tests like this paper -> https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05670
I’ll second Trustworthy Online Controlled Experiments. Fantastic read and Ron Kohavi is worth a follow on LinkedIn as he’s quite active there and usually sharing some interesting insights (or politely pointing out poor practices).
