To be honest, as the author, I am pretty insecure. That sounds like an accurate reading.
Im in half data and half software engi...and I have no clue how to best move forward for what it's worth haha. Just know I need to, in some direction, with how the tech is going. Definitely can't keep going like it's still in the pre-AI days.
