I see people looking at off-the-shelf ML solutions as a panacea for their problems - without understanding the application domain, nor considering simpler solutions, nor thinking about the SE-perspective of AI-powered *software* systems and the challenge that comes with it.

I'd guess I'd summarize it as, being a "deep learning expert" in 2021 is like being a "medicine expert" in 1800. You know a lot less than you think, and most of what you think you know is wrong. Just keep learning and experimenting, and don't play stupid status games.

1/ I was asked how to successfully finish a #phd. To be honest, I owe this merit mostly to my brilliant supervisor @maalejw. Yet, here's my personal advice (w/o order): - Continuity is key!

5/ Do NOT say yes to everything or you will never find your OWN path. - Try something NEW! It will never be so easy again in your life to jump into the cold water. Escape the established patterns and impress people with a different point of view or yet unexplored problems!

6/ - Stop crying! A PhD is not walk in the park - you knew this before 😜.
