E12 - Peter Wang, CEO of Anaconda on data science, OSS and their communities

In this episode, I was fortunate enough to speak with Peter Wang, the CEO of Anaconda. Anaconda is a distribution for the Python and R programming languages for scientific computing. It’s recognized as the heart of the open source data science community.

Peter was an incredibly engaging guest who provided really unique and insightful answers. We managed to cover a lot in this episode, including: 

• The challenges Anaconda has faced using OSS as part of their business model.
• The importance to give back to communities you rely on
• Two common misconceptions the business world has about software
• The maturity of adoption of data science versus open source software
• Whether data science is a fad or a phase
