About this episode
The tech industry is measuring AI productivity all wrong, and Mozilla MLOps engineer and University of Chicago instructor Chelsea Troy makes a strong case for why. The real opportunity, she argues, isn't shipping more code faster but finally having the bandwidth to run the experiments, tests, and simulations that engineering teams have always wanted to run but never had time for. Chelsea joined Ben to cover the state of entry-level hiring, why the software engineering interview has been broken for decades, what it means to teach Python in 2026, and why token efficiency should replace token consumption as the industry's dominant productivity metric.
