Silliness and Experimentation
← BackI really enjoyed Jeff! I thought it was really refreshing to hear a knowledgeable and experienced professional talk passionately WITHOUT the usual Silicon Valley hype. Specifically, hearing about the Taiwan CWS was super cool. I don't know if I would think about a job at NVIDIA before, but I think Jeff definitely broke down some bias for me.
The podcast was interesting. Definitely not something I would have listened to, it was a bit too business oriented for my taste. But I did resonate a lot with the whole feeling of being on a bad product. Right now, I am working on an internal product and there has been a lot of confusion because of a company re-org. Maybe not a bad product, it could save a lot of time, but there is a lot of uncertainty and confusion on product scope and direction. I just personally don't have any say in the product and we are not a startup like the podcast sort of advertises to.
Dear Diary, today I did nothing again. It must have been weird having a job a hundred years ago. When I was young, I remember wanting to be a professional pickleball player, and then I faced a robotic player and I realized it was probably best to just watch the robots play. I would never win anyways. Life is kind of boring if you never have anything to do.
Dear Diary, today was a nice day of art. I woke up and went to work on the train and had a nice day talking with clients about what worked for them and what didn't with our new integrated hardware predictors. While I was on the train I heard a fun fact that trains never had been possible before because of their mis-engineering. But with predictive physics that we made a couple decades ago, we could innovate faster on train speeds and technology. Nice I can now travel hundreds of miles for work without too much work!
