> The real world is very much about optimizing for and beating tests. thank you. it's awesome for someone like PG to bring the subject upfront. but what you are saying resonates with me. genuine interest is missing in our field, and to some extent many others. "beating tests", as PG puts it, is at all time high. i am at a point where i don't know who or what is right. the numbers are telling an important story! those who learned to hack the tests or the system are popular online or offline. and they are "succeeding" in life. they seem to have outnumbered those who put genuine interest first. for instance, as many of my peers, i wanna learn machine learning and AI. but it is hard for me to find materials that resonate with me. materials that teach from first principles like those that got me hooked back in the days. they are lacking because we are so good at shortcuts and hacking. maybe we don't know how to do it anymore? but who am i to blame anyone? there are so many, many, ways to hack and beat the tests and the system. and seemingly you can get ahead of many others in life by doing so. #AceYourFirstInterviewAfterBootcamp #TensorflowPyTorch #BeSureToLikeBelow #ThanksToMyPatreons #SubForChatAndEmojis #InstagramFacebookDown i am very thankful for PG for starting the discussion. and for this comment.
