A few years ago when I did some soul searching, in the ever pursuit of finding the "right" thing .. I was disappointed to turn down something and I felt I have lost a lifetime opportunity. I stand corrected about that sentiment, which has turned out to be an absolutely wrong one. There are so many even better ones now! What was "IoT" is now replaced by "AI" :) or even better "Gen AI" ...
The key is to not lose the pursuit. I've found with some recent (last few months) of soul search - I have met so many people, found new meanings in talking to people for simple words like "growth" , "opportunity" , "long term career planning" ... and signed up to numerous free classes and a few programs that make sense with my growth plans.
I intend to focus on my growth. My growth as a human first and foremost -in this fast and furious world. How can I be a more "aware" person? I refreshed my understanding of the history of the WWW, IEEE.802.11 protocol, DBS, fetch, add, multiply instructions of a CPU , getting excited reading up on a CERN paper on networking etc. I am finding a new meaning about these, as an example, because these are fundamentals of any computer architecture, and are still needed to understand and expand to the fast and furious world of AI ...
OSA (eg. RISC-V) or Arm? another ubiquitous question. Watch for some nuances in my next blog .. :)
And to end this post: books I am about to start reading from a list a friend sent me out of the BBC Best picks:
I am prioritizing Dream Count by the terrific Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and The Names by equally fantastic Florence Knapp ...
