What do you think is wrong with a kid who got rejected by 9 colleges?
I look at tech stack I use Linux , git. Kubernetes , AWS, python , Java , scala and none were invented by Asians. In fact none of the tools and platforms I use are invented by non white peoples except Terraform . On the other side of the spectrum you have Sundar, Satya etc .. and millions of Asian IT workers. Why Asians are not into IT inventions? What can be done to encourage new generation?
Give it time. Had to make up for decades of colonial rule and negative growth. We are just getting started :)
Really ?
Yea Really ✊🏽
Genetic 🙄🙄 ?
Sorry it was hard to put it out there as an Asian . Are we not smart enough or we like money more than anyone else ?
100 years ago Asians were poor due to constant wars. US on the other hand was flourishing with wealth
Not true . I assume you are white . Just look at all the wars happened in Europe alone
Lmfao you speak like you know nothing about Asian history. Anyway you just sound like someone annoying to deal with. Bye
The youngest billionaire is Asian
Here we go. I was asking about innovations not wealth .
As far as Americans go, I think the difference culturally is that is far less emphasis on focusing on purely academic achievement and to embrace tinkering and inventing.
Seems like this is changing fast.
Many of the big systems innovations happened a decade or two ago. For instance, AWS started in early 2000s. Kubernetes is just Google borg which was created probably more than a decade ago. If you look at academia now, a lot of brilliant research is coming from Asians. Just takes some time.
What is the motivation behind this post?
Many of us Asians work in IT. It occurred to me how come none of the tools I use is invented by Asians . Finding out the reason is the motivation. Since everything is seen via the race now days why not ask ?
Because Linux, Python, Java is mammoth' shit in tech's lineage, and modern innovators were still in the kindergarten when these technologies were incepted. Look at ML/AI and you'll see plenty of foundational infra is developed by Asians. E.g. both PyTorch and TensorFlow leads were Indians, Caffe and TVM were started by Chinese Ph.D. students.
Great that’s exactly what I was looking for .
I actually work in ML and didn’t know . Things seems to be changing.
Asian culture is collectivist and risk adverse. Most of us who have the traits required to become a leader at anything experience schools and parents beating it out of us so we can be subservient cogs in the machine for them.
Programming open source/infrastructure code is like programming communism. Asians hate communism because they suffered from that export from Russia big time, and they want to get rich first. So they like creating stuff like DoorDash and Lime which can make money quick. If you look at Taiwan, it is a totally different story. they do much more hard core stuff like chip development and manufacturing. Why can they do that? They’ve been rich for generations. Same with the Eastern Europe block.
Lol that was totally unexpected view point
Three of Doordash founders are two asian-americans and a white guy. Don’t know if that fits in your narrative
