We talk with Jonatan Kłosko, the coder behind Livebook, to learn how it works, how the collaborative feature was done, what you can do with it, what you shouldn't do with it, some unusual ways people are using it, and more! We can’t help but talk about all the fun and cool ways it can be abused and how it's finding exciting uses outside of machine learning. A great discussion with lots of insights.
