Today's Bay Area has a direct lineage to all of that. Blank Space by W. David Marx does a great job of explaining how the post-2000 parts happened.

It's all part of the same long, strange trip.

Edge Impulse (https://edgeimpulse.com) is the top developer platform for edge AI: think HuggingFace but for models that process sensor data on the edge. We have a large and active community of hundreds of thousands of developers. We were recently acquired by Qualcomm, who have a crazy ambitious vision for bringing AI within reach of every embedded engineer.

This role will involve leadership, mentoring, and process design in addition to engineering, software architecture, and programming. There will be room to grow and potentially manage others as we expand the research team from 6 to 10+ researchers and engineers. Your role is to be the professional software engineer in a room full of researchers. You view writing great software as a craft, and you enjoy designing systems to facilitate quality code.

Our team literally wrote the book on AI at the Edge (from O’Reilly https://a.co/d/dIDZui0)—along with creating award-winning technologies like our FOMO constrained object detection architecture, FOMO-AD visual anomaly detection, and EON Compiler model optimization system. Our platform is cited in thousands of research papers, and we are a Gartner Cool Vendor in Edge Computing.

Like the rest of our team, you are naturally proactive and autonomous, and will go the extra mile when required: not by working late, but by going outside of your lane to help deliver the best possible product for our developers. We prize trust, collaboration, entrepreneurialism, and creativity.

If you can write code, you can create documents that include all the necessary details for a handover—without needing to be a brilliant writer—as long as you're aware that you're required to do so.

That said, I think it's a challenge for people who didn't exist in that space from a young age and figure out the patterns that make it manageable.

The sad thing is that these are probably easy things to learn, but there's no real movement to try and teach them. Instead, we try to replace our amazing battle-tested text-based tools with crappy multimedia substitutes.

It's definitely good to jump on a call sometimes, but I'd much rather have an in-depth technical discussion via writing. History is full of brilliant written correspondence between legendary figures in art, science, engineering, and business—but somehow we've decided that letters are not good enough for us.

The exception that proves the rule is Amazon, who apparently require written content to be submitted and read prior to in-person meetings in order to improve the discussion.

So while I see your point, I wouldn't say a cuisine is always "from" the same place as its ingredients.

And since most American food has also made its way to the UK, there's really not a great deal of difference.

I'm not sure I made a generalization about America besides the quality and diversity of supermarket food, and an anecdote about how many of my friends cook at home.

I grew up in the UK but I've lived for 15 years all over the US, and it's always confused me that Americans are convinced that British food is bad. On a whole, British supermarkets have far better produce, in both quality and diversity. UK restaurants run the gamut from cutting edge fine dining and wonderful traditional food to home-grown variants of immigrant cuisine. It's a great place to eat.

My home town is legendary for Indian restaurants—to the extent that Birmingham-style Balti curries have made their way back to India. Before you claim that this is Indian food, not British, can you name an American dish that wasn't developed by immigrants?

Home cooking is far more popular in the UK than the US: anecdotally, most British people cook most meals at home, while few of my American friends know how to boil an egg and rely almost entirely on take-out. British celebrity chefs and cooking shows are famous worldwide. It's odd to claim that British food sucks while binge-watching our prime-time baking show!

I love America and a lot of things are better over here, but food—unfortunately for me—is not one of them.

Who do you think was feeding the monks?

Beyond that: I've co-written two reasonably successful technical books. The amount of non-writing work that went into them is staggering: editing, reviewing, laying them out, creating illustrations, translating them into different languages, making them available for sale across the world, etc. It requires an unbelievable amount of skill, talent, and hard work.

The raw draft we hand in looks embarrassing beside the finished product.
