@Trolldravidyas@AgentSaffron So quoting an ecosystem ranking to a meme about the gap between consuming AI and actually being at the frontier of AI is kind of proving the meme rather than disproving it.
Statistics about participation don't magically become statistics about leadership. π€‘
@Trolldravidyas@AgentSaffron And the irony is that this meme isn't even uniquely Indian. Most of the world is essentially doing the same thing: watching a handful of labs push the frontier while everyone else integrates their models into products and workflows.
@Trolldravidyas@AgentSaffron There have even been documented instances of mass low value contribution campaigns and projects restricting such behavior.A latest example is what happened with the Express.Js repo ( if you are actually from IT you would be aware of this ).
@Trolldravidyas@AgentSaffron Ranking #3 in Al ecosystem vibrancy and being the 2nd-largest contributor to GitHub Al projects sounds impressive .. until you ask the more important question what Al are people actually using?
Unpopular truth: A 3 year developer at tcs or Infosys in bengaluru usually has better real world debugging, patience, and system maintenance skills than a product startup dev who just wraps openap APIs and complains about 90LPA packages.
Startup devs write pretty code, service devs keep actual enterprise infrastructure alive.
