Bayesian Programming: Updating Beliefs in Software and Data

Explore how Bayesian methods turn uncertainty into actionable insight for software engineering. From updating spam filters and A/B tests to ranking content and evaluating risk, we show practical ways to model priors, compute posteriors, and make smarter decisions as new data arrives. We’ll ground the discussion with real-world examples—from Reddit comment ranking to the Challenger analysis—and discuss how Bayes can influence debugging, testing, and code design.
