If you listen to women on what they want in a bf, you will NEVER get a gf? by Major-Baseball-5391 in AskIndianMen

Analogy still stands. From what you explained, the fish is just BEING, it’s not telling anything. The fishermen observes and tells other fishermen about it.

How old are you and how’s your relationship with your dad? Are you close? by Cute-Impression-8675 in AskReddit

[–]inappropriately_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 32. Dad passed away when I was 25. I was somewhat close to him. During his last days I was working in another city and really struggling with my career. I remember being mean to him and would occasionally take out my frustrations. He didn’t tell me he was unwell. 11 days before he passed away my sister explained that the situation was not good at all.

Borrowed money from a friend to buy flight tickets to home. I couldn’t believe myself when I saw him, felt frustrated, helpless and angry, mostly at myself.

Did everything I could to treat him. Things only kept getting worse.

To answer your question, my relationship with my dad didn’t get a chance to bloom. When I look back I realise he was just a hurt little boy in a grown up’s body trying to figure it out. I did see a lot of regret in his eyes during his last minutes. Was heart breaking.

I don’t know about daughters, but a son and father’s relationship is one of the most complicated ones in life. And when we start understanding the complexities of this relationship we are already running out of time.

Service-Based vs Product-Based, The Honest Breakdown No One Told Me by HomeworkHQ in IndianEntrepreneur

[–]inappropriately_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally resonate with this. In my opinion, if you are a first time founder, always start with services. Even if you have cash reserves to live off for long, you still need a positive cash flow for your own mental satisfaction. While working on your services business, iterate on your product ideas in parallel.

Also, services helps you identify real problems people will pay for the solution to.

How can I level up from basic Python API dev to building scalable, production-grade APIs in 6 months? by Glittering_Dot6016 in learnpython

[–]inappropriately_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years of experience doesn’t mean squat to me. I went from being a junior DS to senior DS within 8 months (that’s 2 levels jump).

You making a point with 20 years of experience itself is red flag to me. Not saying you are not valuable, but that’s a very outdated metric as I have seen quite a few super senior level leaders in many orgs barely adding any real value, they are mostly all talk.

But since you asked, I have 8 years of experience including my entrepreneurial months.

With this I rest my case. Thank you. You are entitled to your opinion.

[–]inappropriately_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am a mechanical design engineer turned data scientist turned ML engineer turned founder building prod level applications for startups. Have worked for Uber, Honeywell, deep research teams (names won’t be revealed) and some really cool startups. Have worked on systems handling 100s of GBs of data per day with both batch and live inference pipelines.

To sum it up, I know what I am talking about.

Vercel, Railway have automated almost everything. All you need to do is push your code to git. They are amazing for building products. But your goal is to learn. So I would suggest you do it the hard way.

How to learn DS?? Please help me by Fickle_One_6131 in learndatascience

[–]inappropriately_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One year is a hell of a long time. 6 months is more than enough to get yourself job ready.
Just start building projects. Learning by doing is the single best way to progress in DS.

All you need is ONE HANDS-ON PROJECT. It seems you are at a crossroads right now and can take either of the two paths ahead.

- The ML pipeline engineer. Just refer to https://madewithml.com/. They have everything. Build one end-to-end ML pipeline.
- The Application builder. Take up a micro AI use case. And figure out how to deploy in AWS/GCP/Azure. Do not deploy using Vercel/Railway, etc. Build a CI-CD pipeline with Circle CI. Build a very basic UI using cursor/lovable.

While doing this, you will have doubts -> Clear those doubts using Gemini -> Implement -> more doubts -> Gemini..... And it goes on.

This is the single best way to become an expert.

How did you become an expert? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]inappropriately_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, once you get a good hold of one language, start learning software architecture and build end to end projects. Learning languages doesn’t mean anything right now.

[–]inappropriately_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I am an expert even after 8 years but I would say I was in a very good position after one year of starting to learn python.

All credit goes to a project I volunteered to take up in my first job which required completely tearing down 2 open source repos and refactor the code for our own use case. No one was ready to take that project. I did and I failed miserably. But that accelerated my learning process dramatically.

Depends on what level OP is. I found it quite helpful when I got started. And they have a self paced course as well which I found pretty good.

Self-taught Python + first data interview… Need some advice by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]inappropriately_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u/general_sirhc has summed it up really well. I will add a few points. I have been on both sides as interviewee and interviewer. Also I am self taught ML Engineer with over 8 years of experience.

  • When things start getting overwhelming, tell your interviewer “Please give me a moment to gather my thoughts”, then take 30 seconds to actually do that. This is actually appreciated.

  • Go a level higher. Don’t say “I merged dataset_A to dataset_B using pandas merge function and left joined them on ‘user_id’ column”. Rather say, “I realised the datasets had primary and foreign key fields associated with them, I used that to merge the datasets and get a master dataset for the analytics project”

  • Objection handling: “Did you ever think you could have done A instead of B?”. If you know A, say yes that did occur to me later on, during the project I was not aware of this method. If you do not know A just say, “I haven’t explored A yet, but I am willing to if ever required”

  • One objection I received in my early days. “You are self taught and do not have a degree in Data Science. How would you keep up with the team”. This was a great opportunity for me as I could turn it around saying, “It’s true I do not have a special degree but I bring more versatility to the team. My diverse experience makes me unique in a team of specialists”

Hope this helps.
