and we're live. such a simple API to use in Golang. it's a bit convoluted here (since i have an interface to support also writing to a boltDB). next up is figuring out how to run it in a distributed setup.

yep! i spent time wading through data science/machine learning then devops then backend engineering and ended up on systems software in networking. figured i enjoy the latest one and i’m happy to have holes in my knowledge elsewhere

lost a good 24 hours to forgetting about the differences between make calls and using the top one vs the bottom one. golang can be fun

i think staying relevant as an software eng in the world of ai basically has three paths: focus on operations (SRE type work), move down lower in the stack where AI has less domain knowledge (currently) i.e embedded computing/compilers/proxies/etc or become very very good at product.

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.

it’s probably the case where the gap is getting wider. if you’re curious and motivated, you can learn anything very early. if you a social media junkie/iPad kid, you probably won’t be able to finish reading a book
