ML specialization cert is done so now to dive into distributed systems, understand parallelism and concurrency better, and learn about graphics programming
@LawrenceDCodes If you're looking for more systems design breakdowns, 'jordan has no life' on YouTube has some great videos/explanations on various topics/systems
I've noticed people often describe their pivot from highly abstracted web / frameworks / engines etc into lower level programming as "freeing". I think that stems from realising that most of the rules about programming are just made up, and the machine is amazingly flexible.
I don't know how many times I need to say this:
LLMs are literally trained to be Bullshitting Engines.
They cannot reason; they don't "understand" anything. All they do is give an answer that is highly probably to _sound_ correct, not actually _be_ correct (i.e. bullshitting).
Well seems like my laptop may have hit the fan for good…
Will leave it and try again tomorrow but nothing I’ve tried is working. Really not the best time to wait and have to save up and kill all the momentum I had going into this project 🙃
prob a skill issue but I don't like next.js🤷🏽
I'm much more productive in Svelte and Angular so I guess today is spent on starting a refactor of my project's frontend portion🙃
Exploring new tech is cool but sometimes it's just best to stick to what you know. Lesson learned
Not sure what my tech stack for this year will evolve into but I definitely want to dive deeper into Go, Python (for ml/ai stuff), and Typescript (for frontend stuff). I still feel like at some point I should pick up a lower level language like Rust or C++ but idk yet
Alright time to lock in. While a new job with more exciting challenges would be nice, the main goal for this year is to learn more about Machine Learning and Distributed Systems.
@JRaynovic Yea what Im working on will help my partner as she’s in grad school doing research interviews so there’s potential of making something others will use so didnt have time to just take it slow haha.
But yea man let’s see when works for both of us. Always a good time catching up!
@JRaynovic That’d be dope man! I’m on the opposite side of running inference models for various tasks for a project but def plan on going back to fundamentals and getting into the math and theory stuff once I get to point I can slow down on this project
@joschelboschel Yea thats my plan for future opportunities for sure. Kinda just got my first “official” software job so I decided not to be too picky to get “official” experience
Did some coding outside of work today for the first time since I started the new job 3 months ago… After being in Typescript/Java land, all I can say is that I missed writing in Go and I didn’t realize it till I started brushing up on it again today
