I recently gave an interview to on my views on:

- how to get into Deep Learning
- the importance of privacy and Private AI
- a bit of my personal back story
I hope some of these tidbits are useful for beginners looking for direction in their AI careers#100DaysOfMLCode https://t.co/30YuSoMWyM
"The secret to getting into the deep learning community is high quality blogging... Don’t just write something ok, either — take 3 or 4 full days on a post and try to make it as short and simple (yet complete) as possible." - @iamtrask https://t.co/nfTonejvhi

This is a very real challenge. It's helpful to have people you trust that you can get feedback from directly, and to mute/avoid toxic channels, but there's no failproof solution. https://t.co/wIx6W16jOl

Humans are hardwired to be upset by negative feedback. It is valuable to work on personal strategies to address this, but also, don't let people make you feel bad about letting comments from strangers bother you (because it's a natural reaction).

This is a valuable point too on the importance of preparing. I spend an absurd (and perhaps excessive) amount of time on most of my blog posts and talks. I think of over-preparing as one of my strategies for coping with anxiety.https://t.co/81dDQHcUmU
