As a companion to my upcoming PyMCon talk I put together colab notebook that takes a deep dive into some of the technical concepts behind the talks thesis. Namely,

• What is a data generating process?
• What do we mean by a first principles model?
• How does one express these concepts in code with tools like scipy and pymc?

Shout out to the event organizers who suggested this idea. I really enjoyed putting this together and think that an offline resource which explores the technical details allowed me to focus one the high level details during the talk, which I think makes for a better experience.
