Efficiency Tips for Engineers (From An AI Researcher + Stanford PhD)

Hi! I’m Rahul, a software engineer and founder with a passion for teaching.

There is just something about a classic powerpoint template on a new youtube video where you know that you are in for a bangger video

[santoshmohan]

Thanks for covering the research vs engineering framework. Very helpful for those who do projects in both domains!

[sbstorage]

Exceptional insights. Just the aura or “vibe” you two both have exudes rationality, purpose, and impeccable work habits. Loved this convo, grateful for your content!

[Yassine-ymvf]

This is literally GOLD advice. Thank you guys!

[kalpakHere]

This is a great talk Mo. Thank you for taking time and sharing so much information and succint wisdom in a crisp format!!

[bobsmithy]

great presentation. I've personally found that making decisions in advance w/ timeboxing helps me perform a lot better

[gowthamsagar]

with "reuse, dont redo", how do we make sure that we are not just someone who calls bunch of APIs without any deep understanding ? i get that we need to use lot of libraries to get things done and keeps getting easier and easier. how do we draw the line, between learning something deeper and not reinventing the wheel ?

Rahul Brings Content That Are mostly unanswered On the internet Great session👍

[florafeng]

What app did Mo reference for time-blocking or tracking how one spends their time?

[data_kai]

What is meant by „leave code“ in the transcription?

Efficiency to serve you, and not imposed by companies.
Do it as a self growth virtue and buy as much time as possible to pursue your own goals.

tbh i hate the whole reuse don't redo argument, most of the stuff i learned is by re-implementing algorithms and apps and i think that is the best way to learn for student's and juniors. If you are senior and/or you have to make something quick sure, but if reusing stuff and tools is what you are doing thru all of your career than you probably don't know how it really works and you you will not know what to do when smth is not working or when you can't use specific frameworks/libraries. And I'm not saying that every time you need math library you should write it yourself but that learning basics is at some point more important than being quick

[akhilk]

So to be efficient i asked ai to summarize this. Cheers

🤝 Social accountability groups can prevent procrastination and enhance motivation.
⚖ Balance productivity with self-care to avoid burnout.
🧘‍♂ Prioritize mindfulness and take regular breaks for recharging.
⏳ Use techniques like time blocking and the Pomodoro Technique for operational efficiency.
📚 Seeking feedback and continuous learning are crucial for improvement.
📱 Set boundaries with smartphones to maintain focus and efficiency.
🎯 Focus on the process and prioritize tasks for effective long-term goal achievement.

I played this back on 1.5 to make sure I'm being efficient

I'm not sure that someone like him would be self-aware and fully appreciate his own intelligence. Especially if he's constantly surrounded with like minded people.

Can we get a link to the slides? (if you're willing to make it open source)

[linusdannull]

Watching this while procrastinating moving 😅
