Wes McKinney and I chat about Positron, Arrow, how he created Pandas and Arrow, and what makes him tick.
Matt Harrison is the author of many of the most successful Python books, including Effective Pandas, Effective XGBoost, The Machine Learning Pocket Reference, and many more. I consider him the top author of Python books and content on the planet.
He stopped by my house to chat about self-publishing technical books, the pros and cons of using a publisher, book piracy, and much more. We both talk about our experiences as best-selling technical authors, and don't hold back in this wide ranging and very candid conversation. Enjoy!
Note - my audio got a bit clippy in spots. Sorry if I blew up your speaker.
