I absolutely loved this blog post. This, incidentally, is the perfect thing to blog about if you're looking for ideas. Just read books and things outside what is normally part of the engineering culture, in the meanwhile keeping all the things you're good at (e.g. mathematical modelling) or interested in in the back of your mind. When you stumble upon the intersection of things you're technically good at and things you read about, do some cool research or write some code and then post it on HN and there you go.
- pault 9y agoI agree, but I don't think Neal Stephenson is outside of engineering culture. :)
- SOLAR_FIELDS 9y agoI was frankly surprised seeing this thread just how popular Stephenson is here. It makes sense though.
