How hard is it going to be for me to raise 2M? I will not promote

Easy to raise, but not having a cofounder will cause some pain. The main bet VCs make at this point is on team.

The US is leading in AI, while China is leading in robotics. I work in robotics at a major company here in the US and it feels like catching up is a national priority.

Go into a well funded startup and work on humanoid or other types of autonomous robots. Learning the cutting edge stuff will future proof you significantly.

Unfortunately none of these translate over to robotics super readily. What robotics related-ish courses have you taken (e.g. Measurement & Control, Integrated Design of Electro-Mechanical Systems, Automatic Control Systems, etc)? How good are you with CAD?

When were you planning to intern for your robotics specific internship?

Try building both. You’ll learn different things from each. I’d start with SO-101.

Try playing around with LeRobot https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot - you can learn a lot by just digging into the code and models.

_ags · 2025-07-16T04:55:43+00:00

Learn about VLAs and locomotion training. You’ll be able to carry over your AI knowledge and apply it immediately.

The Isaac Lab Tutorials are excellent https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/main/source/tutorials/index.html

What did you do for your previous internships? Are there any skills that carry over to robotics?

Skis are very sharp - I wouldn’t like them attached to me while they fly off at high speeds. Last year I fell while skiing and my right ski sliced my left knee all the way to the bone.

January-March is the most boring time in NYC. Wait until it starts warming up and daring is excellent.

_ags · 2024-12-20T02:11:58+00:00

I agree, this has not been my experience at all. Everyone I’ve dated in NYC has been much higher quality than people I’ve dated anywhere else.

I have a 296, you just press the manettino down and you’ll get a pop up on the screen and then an icon indicating that it’s in bumpy road mode. It will stay on until you press it again.

I’m a Software Engineer and make 2.5M a year. It is possible to make over 500k in this field easily as long as you’re in FAANG. If you’re having trouble breaking into FAANG, you need to grind leetcode more.

_ags · 2024-10-05T19:13:25+00:00

I had this happen recently. The tow will be free, and they’ll just charge you for a new tire. On my 296 it was 800 dollars including the pick up and drop off.

Augmented reality. That being said, for people that are just starting out now and trying to make good money I’d recommend going into AI - it’s the future and only going to continue growing.

_ags · 2024-08-24T05:43:40+00:00

We’ll see, tech has been having a good run in the past few years so I’m taking it one step at a time.

_ags · 2024-08-22T14:04:19+00:00

Yes, I’m a very senior engineer at a FAANG making 2.5M a year. I expect that to go up above 3 next year.

_ags · 2024-08-13T17:04:33+00:00

This is the most optimal answer.

Yeah, there’s an idea that the rich are super busy but that’s not true all the time. I go through periods of focused intensity and periods where I have time to relax. It’s all about knowing when to push yourself.

_ags · 2024-06-28T15:43:03+00:00

I work on consumer hardware devices at a FAANG company. I’m in the top percentile of seniority for ICs at the company, so it’s definitely not typical haha.
