My first blog on this page and what I want to do
Welcome to my blog! It’s been a long time since I have poured my thoughts on the internet. I have been meaning to have a dedicated space on the internet to call a home for my thoughts and this looks like the perfect no-nonsense place for me.
A little introduction about me -
Hello! My name is Malabika and I work as a Software Engineer. I have fun working on Backend Applications and debugging head-scratching production issues. I am a tinkerer and learn the best by doing.
If you are reading this in the future, 2023-2024 was probably the year people started taking AI very seriously. Atleast I did. You could call me ignorant or too complacent with my current status as just a Backend Software Engineer but couple of months ago is when I really started thinking if my current skills are indeed gonna stand the test of time…
With that fear, I did what I always do - I searched the internet for resources aka reddit threads to start learning AI.
Most of them pointed to fast.ai as the “best practical resource for coders” to learn AI. Like I said above, I learn the best by doing so this was a no-brainer for me. I have been looking at the course and the first chapter for almost two weeks now but truth be told, I have not dipped my feet entirely.
May 14, 2024 i.e. today is the day I will kickstart my AI journey and blog about my learnings here. I intend to dedicate an hour everyday to begin with and will update my progress for the day here. I also intend to host this space for folks who may want to start their AI journey in the future and need a dedicated resource.
My end goal is to transition to AI from plain vanilla Software Engineering so we will also see how that goes.
With that, I will head to do my first lesson and will update the blog in a day!
