The hype around ML, LLM, Neural Network, etc is crazy now. It always feels to me like a train I have missed but would really want to get on. But the point to start is always something that has eluded me. I have been in the "IT" industry now for close to 20 years but I still feel I can learn new things. I come from the generation of "Core Java backend" development era or the "monolith" era or whatever you wanna term the 2000s computer era. Things like cloud, container, devops, microservices, k8s, big data, etc have always been ahead of me and its always been sort of catchup. And now ML/AI/LLM are captivating everyones imagination and I feel like I am again playing he catch up game.
I am the "40 year old dev" who still believes he can learn and still has to learn a lot. But as age progresses, lot of aspects of life change and sometimes one can regret with statements like "I wish I can go back in time". Responsibilities increase. The society norms like "ohh you should be owning a house by now", etc start mounting pressure. "You should focus on family" or "You should not be coding now". It would have been easier as a bachelor to devote more time on learning but as I stated before, everything has been an after thought in my life.
Then I came across this line that if you love something, you will always have enough time. I guess I need to follow that mantra and not lose hope.
So I have narrowed down few resources that I need to devote time to. I will try making notes everyday as I embark on this journey.
