[36:42] How do you ensure consistency in your transformation logic and in your process for generating features?
[43:39] In terms of versioning that transformation logic and knowledge that goes into creating Feature Stores and allowing them to be reusable and consistent, how are you going to grapple with that?

[49:34] "It's too possible for you to do something wrong. You have to specify that wrong thing. That makes it harder to do that wrong thing." Daniel
[51:54] "It starts with changing the mindset. Making people get the habit of what the value is here. Then you are producing features for consumers because tomorrow you could become a consumer. Write it in a way that you want to consume somebody's feature." Simar
