  1. Your health
  2. Your body
  3. Your mind
  4. Your time
  5. What you put in your brain

Yes. You can control you. So focus on you. Get ready. Prepare to pounce when the opportunity knocks.

  1. Pivot needs to be one of the options
  2. Don't listen to anyone that doesn't matter. And even the ones with grain of salt
  3. You are the most important person in your life. Without you, there isn't anything else.
  4. Health is the most important thing and it has cascading effects. Focus on that.
  5. If stuck, just work on leveling up skills. You get ready to pounce when the opportunity knocks.
  6. There is only now. Not past. Not future. Focus on Now

Get Rid of Containers

Not too long ago, I realized that I had too many containers to store things. As long as there are containers, I continue keeping things that I will never use. And they are there with you occupying your physical and mental space. So I started getting rid of containers all together. When you run out of storage space, you start thinking hard what you need to keep in your life.

The same idea goes with my obsession about taking notes on every minute details. The honest answer is I never go back and read what I write. I spend time or waste my time planning thinhgs, jotting things down rather than doing and producing things.

So be mindful on these "facilitators"; facilitate you to store things, facilitate you to jot down things. They do you more harm than good.

  1. AI leader. Google will win the AI war. They are the only ones with right brain power, right infrastructure and Google already has all of our information.
  2. Running LLM locally is still not there yet, so if you want to use the best AI (which will be Google's) at the enterpise level. You will have to use Google Cloud offerings such as Vertex AI.

If you are a high intelligent and high agency individual, you would want to be a generalist.

If you are a high intelligent but low agency individual,

  1. get specialized in areas with a lot moats; SAP, Epic EHR, Quality
  2. or data analysts, data scientists, AI related fields. but this might require credentials such as diploma in Mathemetics etc.

Not Yet

With AI, eveybody needs to undervalue "experience" by quite a lot. I once worked with one of the smarted people I met and I remember asking him if he knew this niche programming language that we would use. He said "not yet"

Whenever someone asks me if I've ever worked with so and so technology or have this domain knowledge, that would be my answer for everything; not yet.

You do know that LLM is the result of scraping the entire Internet, right? So who would have more domain knowledge than LLM? People who do not get this concept will not going to make it in this AI era.

You just need to hire smart people. In AI era, "experience" is overrated.
