    i wonder whats been going on here. ive been watching this with great interest. at the risk of leaking bits, i have some familiarity with zillow and actually did complete a DS interview loop with the Zestimate team years ago. didnt end up joining but i knew a bunch of ppl therehttps://twitter.com/ryxcommar/status/1456045288079204358 …

    i cannot get over that the zillow data scientist job posting "strongly prefers" you have experience with a python library that is designed to make it as piss easy as possible for little babies to do y_t = f(t) time trend / curve fitting forecasts. pic.twitter.com/YTUcgascCi

        my impression is that there were some very sharp and capable DS throughout the analytics org and also that at various points their tooling and org structure were deeply suboptimal in some ways and maybe optimized for social science academic burnouts

        The market seems to believe Zillow’s failure means Opendoor is also failing. My belief is that Opendoor’s comparative accuracy (let alone operational advantages) led to Zillow having a huge adverse selection problem. Will know for sure next week, but I remain extremely bullish

        Also interviewed with them about 3 years ago for their Dallas team. Glad to have missed out.

        I noticed that a lot of the Transaction Histories do not show the houses being listed for sale before Zillow purchased them. Would you know if part of their plan was to prompt homeowners on the site to sell the house to them if the data flagged it as worthy?
