Welcome back to the Klaviyo Data Science podcast! This episode, we dive into… Writing code for computers and people No matter what sort of data science work you do, it's fairly inevitable that you'll have to write code to accomplish your goals. For substantial projects, it's also fairly inevitable that you'll have to work with other people to see them to completion. As anyone who's dived into a legacy code base can tell you, writing code that other people (and yourself in the future) can understand is both an essential skill to have and a difficult practice to master. This episode, we talk specifics about improving your coding skills. We've brought on four software engineering experts from Klaviyo, and you'll hear about writing good code from a variety of angles, including: What exactly is good code? The biggest misconceptions that come with writing code How to prepare for your first code review Our panel's top tips for improving your coding skills, tailored to your level of experience “You don't have to make a perfect work of art. It doesn't have to be bug-free.

To write well is one of the greatest challenges people face while building their personal brand. Everything you do for your personal brand involves the practice of writing; i.e, creating Instagram captions, voice over scripts, blog posts, emails, and most importantly, the copy on your personal website. If I had a nickel for every time I heard, “But Anna, I'm just not a good writer, can I hire someone to do it for me?” I would be a very wealthy woman and I still wouldn't hire anyone to do it for you. Here's why:The more you resist writing for your personal brand, the more difficult this process will be for you. Good writing takes you where you want to go. It helps you sell your products and services and attracts the right people and opportunities to your brand. Bottom line: when you write well, you speak well. And speaking well gives you a deeper sense of self-confidence and assurance needed to be successful online. So how does one write well even when they don't feel like it? How do you write copy that sounds like “you” and also positions you as the credible thought leader in your field? It starts with writing the copy for your personal website.
