Articles from engineering blogs of big tech companies
 | The author, a Slack intern, discusses their journey to understanding the importance of user experience and empathy in engineering, particularly in the context of accessibility, and outlines practical steps to cultivate empathy, such as abandoning preconceptions, observing real-world usage, and collaborating with designers and product managers. |
 | The article discusses how to learn good proxy metrics from historical experiments, addressing the challenge of determining if a treatment that improves short-term outcomes also improves long-term outcomes. It outlines pitfalls in using user-level correlations or treatment effect correlations, and proposes three consistent estimators to determine the true relationship between proxy and north star metrics, leveraging techniques from the weak instrumental variables literature. |
