`from causality import solution`
Recorded on Sep 04, 2023 in London, United Kingdom


A Python package that would allow us to address an arbitrary causal problem with a one-liner does not yet exist.

Fortunately, there are other ways to implement and deploy causal solutions at scale.

In this episode, Andrew shares his journey into causality and gives us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of his everyday work at causaLens.

We discuss new ideas that Andrew and his team use to enhance the capabilities of available open-source causal packages, how they strive to build and maintain a highly modularized and open platform.

Finally, we talk about the importance of team work and what Andrew's parents did to make him feel nurtured & supported.
