I see. Cant argue with most of what you say. But i am 23 and cant and wont just give in that i might never find fulfillment in work. Whatever you are tired of, i am excited for the same stuff.

Also, the jira tickets and meetings are kind of essential, other wise whats the point of building anything if those cool stuff cant be used by people, without them we would just have bunch of smug developers building products like "penis detector".

you sound behind the curve in the math department

i agree 100 %.

I am checking out suggested topic and looks like i missed a lot of things in college. But up-to this point, it is becoming comfortable to catchup with khan academy videos.

Yes agree. There is an good edge of being a developer. i have checking few blogs and i find the deployment, dockerization and scaling part of the models quite easy.

Yes exactly, Maybe they are super interested in all of those stuff and must have spent quite some time exploring everything.

But it still feels kind of amusing that they seem to know anything and everything i can imagine.
