All in on FPGAs | Starting from zero

[Justin Dallas @JustinLDallas]

I was 14 when I first discovered the internet. I remember spending hours searching for answers to questions that my hometown’s tiny public library couldn’t answer. With the internet I knew I could learn anything I wanted so I used my new found power to build a potato cannon. It was life changing.

Learning FPGAs feels the same. When I see everything that’s possible with them I get the sense that I can build anything. I don’t know where I’ll end up yet. SoC, AI acceleration, edge AI fascinates me the most even though I don’t understand much about it yet. Either way, it’s a fun journey.

@realwillreil I respect the grit.

@DabsMalone If you’re a man, especially with children, teach and encourage your spouse to do the same.

@ichirowo I had the same experience recently. My mind was swimming with digital logic. After a 2 hour soldering session, my mind was at peace.
