I want to do AI ML bitcoin work with big data in the IoT space using quantum computing. Also hire me as intern please
😅
Lol I used to be like this
On point AF. When I was still at Amazon, my team got a random college hire and I (as the resident senior) was tasked with mentoring him. Of course, we were a flexible group (and, like all Amazon teams, understaffed), so I asked him what he wanted to do. "Machine learning." Well, we didn't do that. Not really. We were a platform team--but how about some cool stuff you can do with graphs? And if that doesn't work for you, and you really want to incorporate ML, our metrics tooling could use some work, so maybe try it out there. As it turned out, the kid couldn't even handle basic OO class design, took 4+ revisions to ship simple CRs (repeating the same mistakes over and over again), and was PIP'd and fired within 9 months (fastest I've seen--even at Amazon--by a country mile). Machine learning. Fuckin' lol.
Why though? Is it just because they heard that’s where the money is?
What team are hiring in NYC?
There's a serious difference between "implemented an ML solution in some software" vs "developed ML solution." The latter basically means you spend half your time reading scientific papers to keep up with the cutting edge and work on super low level code. You only need to be an SDE to implement ML. Just like all of the other things you don't know super well, but can do because there's a library that makes it really easy, ML exists in "off the shelf" format these days. Like when was the last time you made a website where you wrote your own design system like Bootstrap or created your own state management system like redux?
Its true, but not as simple as you make it sound. For example if your model doesn't work you need to have some idea of what to tweak, what to check etc
Yes, it's not simple, you have to know how the algorithm works and there's a lot of hand holding to make it work, but it's a lot more approachable than people make it seem.
Machine learning is no oncall Good call interns :p
That’s a big brain play right there, perhaps I need to finally hop on the ML train and ditch my call rotation
ML engineers get paid big bucks And no shitty work-life balance. I hate cloud
