Data scientists and software engineers often work side by side, building out and scaling technical products and services that are data-heavy but also require a lot of software engineering to build and maintain.  In this episode, we'll chat with a Friend of the Pod named Walt, who started out as a software engineer but works as a data scientist now.  We'll talk about that transition from software engineering to data science, and what special capabilities software engineers have that data scientists might benefit from knowing about (and vice versa).
