I came to Uber from a startup, where I used to do a lot of work from scratch (writing scripts, dockerfiles, working with aws/azure tools etc), as well as do a lot of ML work from scratch. Coming to Uber, mostly everything is with internal tools which mostly abstracts away the system design problems (eg: don’t need to worry about how to do distributed training, deploying models etc). Modeling now is just limited to doing some exploration and writing yaml files. How do I maximize my learnings to enhance my MLE as well as SDE/Infra skills at Uber? For that matter, I think that might be true at any large company (eg: Meta, Google etc). What is the source of learning for you folks, and how do you keep up with the new tools, systems and ML algorithms? Do you continually learn from internal projects and systems/follow blogs or articles or other? Genuinely looking to learn and grow.

Hey, did you learn anything so far?
