Obsess / Rabbit Holes / Deep Dives
If you really want to get good at something, I really believe that you need to obsess over it.
I’ve heard this from 2 people: Mr. Beast and Andrej Karpathy.
Links of people I find hyper-obsessed:
This is one of the characteristics of 10x Developer, they go into deep dives.
My interview at Neuralink made me realize that I need to have many technical deep dives. But what does that look like?
- there is a very nice parallel to different levels of Abstractions
If you build a VR headset and use a bunch of libraries, you are essentially operating at a higher level of abstraction, since you are calling other libraries.
- Writing something from scratch is simply not feasible in this case, because you depend on so many different libraries. That is the nature of robotics. If you want a technical deep dive, you need to narrow down the scope.
- That way, you can move down the abstraction layers
