- I was writing this blog not because I had something to say but I felt like I had to say something. I wanted to have an opinion on a lot of things and especially on the talks of the town in Tech. I was mostly correct about my opinions & predictions but it felt like I was doing it for the sake of being a journalist which I’m not. I never had the deep knowledge of these tech things. (Although a lot of times my knowledge was deeper than a lot of folks that worked with that tech)
- When you have such broad scope, you cease to dive deep into a subject.
- I never learned and understood things with depth. I had amazing breadth, I still do; I’m a generalist. But eventually I realized to create value for myself, I have to be a T-shaped engineer. Depth in at least one thing with breadth in others.
- Right now, I’m doing my masters in CyberSecurity domain so I chose this to be the depth point. But after diving deep in Cyber, I realized that it’s a broad one complementing my earlier style. An accident of convergence. But it requires some level of depth in some things. The Fundamentals.
- This blog is documentation of my understanding of things sans AI SLOP.
- These are my perspectives on engineering. They could be debatable and sometimes wrong too. But they’re mine. I’m not aiming at being correct, just raw & real.
