Hamel Husain: Data Science Isn't Dead — Agents Create More Signals to Debug, Not Less
hugobowne · x · 2026-09-04
Two more clips from Hugo Bowne's thread: Hamel Husain argues "it's wrong to say data science is dead" — AI creates more data, more traces and more noisy signals to reason about and debug, making data-science judgment more valuable than ever. Methodology: your labels should teach the agent what to surface next — it can find higher-value examples, so you annotate faster and learn more about system failures.
