Some of the best software engineers I know are ex-physics PhDs… it’s one of those “can’t fake it” skillsets that also happens to have high transferability to ML/AI fields. On the other hand, I snuck through the CS major without ever multiplying a matrix.

I didn't, but only because I became personally interested in AI/ML at some point, so I actually had to learn it myself.

As an AI practitioner, I still couldn't explain eigenvectors or singular-value decomposition to you though.

Haha, nice bio. Seeing that font on HN is quite a shock.
