Everything Peter Wang said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Wang: Regulating venture-backed data monetization models will trigger a market crash
“Any regular that comes in and blows up the business model of a ton of, like, high valuation VC stuff, they're gonna trigger a pretty bad situation.”
Wang: Data science is an analytical literacy rather than a job role
“Data science is not actually a job or a role. It's a literacy”
Wang: Graphical BI tools degenerate into useless complexity compared to code
“Point-and-click graphical tools are really very impoverished when it comes to expressing the full plethora of opportunities and possibilities. And what we, in fact, see is a lot of the graphical tools for, you know, advanced BI++ kinds of tools, they ultimatel…”
Wang: Python notebook literacy will create a sharp divide in career outcomes
“In the world to come, in any line of business, any title you have, any branch of science, the people who can hack a Python notebook versus the people who cannot is going to be a very sharp divide in terms of your career outcomes.”
Wang: Individual data privacy depends entirely on societal herd immunity

Wang: Businesses cannot simply purchase off-the-shelf ethical AI
“You cannot buy off the shelf ethical AI. You can buy effective AI, but if you're not doing ethical things as a business, you're not going to have ethical AI.”
Wang: 'Citizen data science' is a completely bogus corporate term
“Citizen data science is, is kind of, it's a bogus term.”
Wang: Anaconda pays core Pandas and scikit-learn maintainers full-time
“Our fix for that is we just pay developers. So, like, we have a couple of a couple of the core maintainers for Pandas are full-time developers, and they're just paid to work on Pandas, and same thing with scikit-learn.”
Wang: Python is one of the few programming languages designed for teaching
“One of the things that's really interesting about Python as a language is that it is actually one of the very few languages in the world that has a history or a pedigree, a legacy of being developed with the intent of being taught.”
Wang: Anaconda reached 18 million users on trailing 12-month basis
“Although we hit, we now hit eighteen million users on a trailing 12 month basis”
Anaconda survey: Under half of users have 'data scientist' in job title
“Out of the, whatever, thousands of thousands of respondents of people who use the Anaconda, less than half actually had data scientists in their title, and most people actually were learning data science to use it in their current job function.”
