This gives some hope! I want to learn that skill that is equivalent to "managing these exchange servers" that might actually last throughout the career. This "latest and greatest" hype chasing has seriously burnt me out.

I enjoy doing things, but I don't become good at them because I don't invest the time to push myself further. Life has other priorities, but now I'll have to put in extra effort and an extra hour on top of what I was already

I was extremely passionate about text-to-image, but now that it is solved, I am experiencing a crisis. I have lost what I have been pursuing for a long time and I am now unsure of my skills. I fear that I will not be able to find a job beca

From a perspective of an individual, what defines quality now? Any attempt to stand out from the crowd requires significant energy. Given the nature of the industry, I fear that the experience I gain cannot be transferred for actual value.

You need a PhD from a top university for that. I am feeling hopeless before even getting a PhD. I don't even have the energy or resources for that. It takes an additional five years of hard work which could be invested in learning actu

I am familiar with the tooling but what I lack is in the ability to quickly navigate a code base. Given a period of 2-3 weeks, I can disect a project into the relevant parts, but I feel like it is still slow. Now the issue I have is contrib

I actually want to be technically senior without politics and bureaucracy. Technically capable like GeoHotz, Dean, Caramack, RMS, etc. The management part of the role can come later!

As a citizen of another shithole-country passport holder (living in country other than US) I can't agree more. I don't get why people make it as if USA is the only beacon of hope. It's just another country. Now that the world
