I love Kenji’s cooking videos! You definitely learn a lot. I love how he brings his experiences and knowledge learned into his recipes. I remember watching a Japanese Chicken Katsu video of his, and the fact that he compares how salting affects the juicyness of the final product gives a simple homecook the knowledge they need to know that can possibly be applied to some other recipe later on.

Doing less work on Xcode and working more on servers made me appreciate vim alot!

I don't use any plugins (tried it back then with neovim and found the editor itself slow to load) and make me memorize folder structure a whole lot more since I'm using tmux alongside it.

I love the fact that I can hop on any system that has vim and I'm ready to go.

Happy birthday, vim!!!

This is me too! I’m content with the M1 chip for mobile and ML development. I know this machine of mine will last a few years before it needs an upgrade!

When it comes to the feeling of laziness, maybe having a mentor or a friend keeping you accountable might help in some way? Even if you tried it once and given up on it, maybe this time around it will turn out to be awesome for you.

Does anyone know where's the best place to buy the HHKB in Canada? Amazon's price is a bit expensive! Thanks!

My company have been wanting to start an ML team for the last year. While I have been doing my own learning with ML and deep learning, I mentioned to my CTO during my one-on-one that I want to ML for the company and I showed my progress to him with my side projects.

Proving that you can apply your self-taught knowledge and letting them know you can provide value as your time spent in the new field grows, will be more than enough for the company to let you make the switch.

My situation is a bit different: switching from iOS to ML. One thing I could say is that iOS development is a fun experience. I did it for the past 5-6 years of my career and was self-taught. I learned both Objective-C and Swift during my time in that world. Doing iOS development has taught me a lot UI/UX, amongst other things.

Recently, I switch to a role in ML and its been a change in my workflow so far - which is something I expected, but fun nonetheless. I don't get to do UI/UX in the visual sense but now I have to care about design of ML models and deployment so that other front-end clients can use them.

I would say give iOS development a go ahead because you want to!
