Hey, guess what... we launched a podcast! Now, you're probably thinking, "Hey Aline, everyone in the world and their mother and their dog already has a podcast. STFU."  But, you should listen to our first Spotlight episode. We feature Shawn Strausser, now a Senior MLE at Meta. His path: PhD in physics → 3 years as a professional poker player → 500 job applications with zero interviews → nearly missing a bizarre Meta recruiting email in his spam folder with the subject: Do you want to be a master of machines?  We'll hear how he went from rejection city to landing at Meta, plus we'll listen to highlights from his ML system design mock interview and ask him to compare it to the real thing.
