I agree with public speaking. Whenever I see someone able to even create a video and upload with a face, I am in awe with their confidence. Public speaking just takes everything to the next level. How can people be so confident about themse

I call this survivorship bias. No matter what you make, only few care enough. Find this few is hardest part. Because there are millions others doing the same damn thing. Everyone has a kick for the survivorship bias. At the end it is just t

This is a good list of points! Knowingly or unknowingly I have been doing most of these things. 4-5 is currently unreachable for me. Others are quite manageable!

I have zero design skills and I had to create something using javascript. I gave some prompts and it was able to come up with a pop-up box. It needed some tweaking but having to not write all of that was really satisfying. https:/&#x2

My only question, why aren't they using gltf? What is the issue with gltf? It supports most of the things?

I understand! Thank you so much for the execution plan. Yes, I am CS major who is about to graduate soon. I will review my resume and try to make it better! Figuring out the rejection is the hardest part.

Even for AI/ML mine is restricted to vision/graphics. I have some experience with classical ML methods but they dwarf the experience in deep learning based methods. Even there most of my skills are around prototyping and research.
