Is 'ethics' something we've undervaluing when it comes to experimentation? Should we actually care about this nerd stuff of 'ethics'?!

Well, yes. Obviously. AJ "Does No Wrong" Long joined Shiva to chat about this specifically, as someone who works in the fantasy sports realm of things, ethics can be a contentious subject.

We got into:

- Why "users first" is really the only way to foolproof ethnical experimentation (and low-key, the only great way to run a business long term)

- How PrizePicks fosters 'responsibility' in fantasy sports (really cool things they're doing there)

- How to set (and enforce) guardrails in programs. Which is stupidly important in experimentation, when people want to break it down and hack it as much as possible

Emotion in data analysis, from what we've been told, should never happen. But the kicker - humans are humans. We use emotions in literally everything we do. So how do we channel it best to make sure we are positively impacting the business?

Gerda "The koala" Thomas joined Shiva to chat about this topic. Where does it make sense to channel emotion? In getting EXCITEMENT about testing, and ideas! But maybe we park it when actually analyzing tests, because that can lead to bad analysis.

We got into:

- The good (and bad) about data. Because sometimes a hyper-fixation on certain data leads to dark patterns and bad UX

- Emotion can actually be GOOD in building a culture of experimentation (well, some emotions....sometimes)

- Is 'hiring culture' really THAT important to getting people involved in data? (yes....yes it is)
