A Lawyer Just Beat 500 Developers at Anthropic’s Hackathon: ☠️

A lawyer, a cardiologist, and a road technician from Uganda. None of them has a software background. All of them built successful AI products liked by thousands in under a week.
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench.
It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery isolation. Isolation is the gift.
All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.
And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that.
You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

Unique way to post :)
My mentor at Rubrik was a super talented chinese principal engineer. One golden piece of advice he gave me was:
“Learn to build a strong opinion on things. No strong engineer you look upto just says yes to everything”
This has been a game changer.
Learn to reason and be vocal with your reasoning. Its okay to be wrong, you can always correct your understanding.
You are hired to reason out decisions and build great products, not to bootlick.
i only sent 106 cold emails as a college freshman before landing my role as a swe intern at a yc-backed startup
what most people don't realize is that sheer volume is not enough
i've had multiple friends who've sent 350+ emails yet still got nothing
my piece of advice:
> be straight forward about what you want
> make yourself stand out but be relatable
> just because something is "cracked" doesn't mean it's perceived that way
think of it as 106 well aimed shots vs 350 blind
Someone built an interactive GPT visualizer that shows every single step of how a model generates output.
Not just the final answer.
The actual pipeline.
