Teaching Senior Engineers Is a Different Job

They are not missing information. They are carrying instincts that mostly transfer, and occasionally do not.

Placeholder article. Teaching machine learning to people with a decade of software experience is not a matter of pitching the same material faster.

Decomposition, testing instincts, suspicion of magic. All of it useful.

What does not

Determinism. The expectation that a passing test means correctness. The habit of debugging by reading the code, when the bug is in the data.

Naming the second list explicitly is most of the job.

Replace this placeholder article with your own writing.
