If you’re not taking risks, then you will not have the motivation to do things. Our mind needs constant challenges to keep it alert, and if you’re doing the same task over and over, then your motivation will decrease.
What I learned from George Orwell’s 1984: never stop thinking for yourself, questioning things and valuing the truth. Highly recommend reading it.

Question from X:
What’s the shortest piece of code that changed the world?
Chris Piech: I’m gonna say backpropagation for artificial intelligence. It’s a very simple piece of code based on some cool calculus that tells an AI algorithm, “If I see data, how can I become smarter based on that data?” And that’s where most AI gets its intelligence from.

The ML Roadmap is finally live.
When I started learning ML, the hardest part wasn't the math or the code. It was not knowing what to learn next. I ended up learning everything I could find, and honestly a good chunk of it I never use. Along the way I kept notes on the parts that actually mattered, and this roadmap came out of those notes plus a lot of research on how to order the nodes properly, from fundamentals all the way to deployment.
What's in it: a checklist at every node, questionnaires to test yourself, over 80 curated resource links, and real projects built on actual datasets. It starts by figuring out where you already are and points you to the right node instead of making you start from zero. Nodes stay locked until you finish the one before it, so the path stays honest.
This is the first version and it will keep growing. I'd like to hear what the experience feels like, what's missing, and what you'd want added.
