After seeing a bunch of Gen AI courses online that will supposedly make you a master of AI in 18 weeks, I am bullish on Regular college admissions as the best bet for your future.

Replace your average Indian CS degree with this one single trick: Every year a CS student writes code for one Level of BLAS routines. By year 4, 90% will wash out, the remaining 10% will be master shape rotators.

Interview today. Company actually put effort into creating a repo and had test cases and you do sort of a pair programming session filling in the blanks and passing test cases before you do the next set of tasks. Best part ? It was the company that cold mailed me via LinkedIn.

CRUD is the logistics of Software Engineering, and as any military historian will agree: "Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics." So my friend, be not sad that all you do is CRUD, for without CRUD, there can be no empires.

Looks like modern desktop CPUs are more akin to super computers of yore than desktop CPUs of the 80s. Wonder how many gold nuggets still relevant today are in papers from the 70s-90s (any suggestion, welcome) Next up in my list is the Cray 1 paper

Basics of Pipelining, to be followed by OoO processors and naturally, the Tomasulo algorithm. I wonder if there is a readable RISCV implementation for a simple pipelined CPU

Sadness is seeing "DevOps" teams. People took a philosophy of how software must be operated and turned it into a cargo cult of over-engineered YAML files.

I am finally convinced of the superiority of iPhones. Android is for people who have too much time to do nothing and ever since Zuck went wartime, Whatsapp software quality has been consistently downhill, 90% of the time not even ringing when people call me.

wanted to tweet this today, but someone already did, so plugging it. 100 lines of own written code > reading 100s of "internals" blog posts a day. Sorry, you won't make staff by reading engineering blogs. Solve JIRA tickets and make your boss happy first.

Too many lurkers here drowning themselves in internet advice. Your most reliable source of truth should be your own experiences. You can iterate on your experiences. You can't make people iterate on their advice. It's okay to be wrong. Just go out and do something!

Only people telling me college degree isnt worth is people that went to Stanford etc al. For most normies / middle class people brand value degree is the greatest ROI Nevertheless, I am betting on passion+work > credentials in the long run.

I did terrible in maths in high school/uni because I was always in a hurry to grok things. Either i learn in 5 seconds or I move on and did not develop the patience to sit for hours trying to work out a problem. In retrospect a few hrs of practice would have changed my fortunes.
