In the past 14+ years working in tech, I have seen multiple hype cycles around languages, frameworks (remember when NoSQL was going to replace relational DB?), and dare I say a lot of FADs. But for some reason, LLMs feel slightly different. Reason? AI has been here for as long as we can think of and yet it keeps making a comeback thanks to advancements in computing and the availability of huge amounts of data. It's a paradigm shift that's reshaping how we think about software, data, and problem-solving itself.
So, what's this 75 Days of Generative AI all about? For the next 75 days, I'll be exploring, experimenting, and yes, probably failing a few times as I navigate the complex world of generative AI. But that's the point. Real learning doesn't happen in your comfort zone.
What's the point of this?
Accountability. The biggest reason for announcing it to everyone is to remain accountable for the next 75 days and publish my learning every day.
Building a knowledge base from scratch. One of the most exciting aspects of this journey is creating a comprehensive resource for others in the tech community. It's like building a team or a product from the ground up - you get to shape its growth and direction.
Helping someone planning to embark on a similar journey. This journey is as much about personal growth as it is about sharing knowledge. By documenting my experiences, I hope to create a valuable resource for fellow professionals navigating the AI revolution.
