This is a very nice piece of interview. "Stay true to your heart" is such a simple piece of advice and yet so many of us fail to do that. Bravos to Harshini!
Really interesting insights into "hype cycles" and their effect on young engineers. I had never thought about how "the next big thing" requires such specialization among its developers. Thanks for giving me something to think about!
Really good interview, I agreed this advice 100% : “If you do take on a career that doesn’t align with your passion, keep your passion alive, but do not jump into self-employment until you have a support system you can depend on.”I made a career change before I was certain of what I truly wanted to do, and I faced a lot of struggles and regret throughout the process. I hope to read more of this advice series, so I can share insights with my kids.
Very meaningful and useful series. The advice given by the interviewee is insightful and practical. I will show it to my son who is high school senior and hope this advice helps him what major he would like to study in university. Thank both of you for wonderful sharing.
This is what I wish folks knew, "The need for change has also created a growing divide between what society needs and what the tech world thinks society wants. Existing inequalities are only getting exacerbated while Silicon Valley hops onto the next hype train."
What an insightful interview series you've started, Yi. Thanks, Harshini.

I agree that most of the time, we understand the theory but to actually put it into practice is more difficult than anticipated. So Kudos to Harshini!
A great interview. So many great insights. Thank you to both of you and good luck Harshini with the new business.
Thank you so much Jeffrey!
Thanks, Jeffrey!

Yes, and all while the MBAs and VCs and so-called "innovation leaders" recycle the buzzwords and catch phrases ...

We all have our lessons learned from life, and sometimes our kids would rather listen to people other than their parents. :)
That’s true, but still we do our part. Ultimately decisions are theirs.

Thanks, Aiping! I hope that your son will find it helpful!

And doing after knowing is what makes people like Harshini admirable!
Thanks, Lani! Looking forward to working on yours :).
This is great!
