Comma
Comma is a cool company. I went here for Comma Hack 4 in San Diego.
Some things that I learned
Biggest thing I’m learning:
- The things that I am going to currently work on are going to be called frivolous a decade from now. Nothing you work on will be permanent.
- On the mechanical side, the things that you learn are way more permanent.
Practically:
- I have seen issues running a VSCode terminal on the comma. Because the VSCode takes up too much compute
The reason there is so much revolution is due to the really short prototyping type of software.
- Like anyone can write stuff that they want
I think that you will see the same thing with AI generating code.
Mechanical Engineering being grounded in Physics, while Software Engineering is grounded in Engineering.
Should I need to think so hard about the future?
- Also, build foundation for how to tackle the world
