You're most welcome, Vijaya! Her (and her cats!) were great guests :)
I really loved the career path talk. I was a developer but kind of disappointed that I couldn't find many people talk about their professional life in software development. I mean for most of us, our job is the most part of our life, we should have a lot of stories for our later life to remember ( for the sake of dementia 😜). Hope to see more people to talk about how they ventured into the data science. Also appreciate you pass on the information of the 80,000 Hours organization. This can truely help many people to find their vocation.
What a great episode. Really made my current train ride 10x better. Also been watching a lot of Tina's videos already. I can really relate to her story about procrastination. Been like this in all my bachelors in industrial engineering. Then found programming and switched to business information for my masters. Focused on ml and dl in my coursework and worked my ass off in my free time to teach me ml/dl by myself. Then started working as a data scientist 😊
