I made the transition just a few years and I can relate to everything you said. The biggest adjustment I had to make was in the delayed gratification of your efforts. You will never know if all the countless hours you spend on experimenting with an idea will ever come to fruition in contrast to my software eng. days I knew what I was aiming for and exactly how to get there. I lead an ML team today and I think I try to use the advice you gave. My mantra is "Try and fail rather than not trying at all". The number of experiments is a measure of performance rather than the number of successes.
As a professional software engineer working on personal machine learning projects, this just gave me a huge "ah ha" moment. Even on small projects, your mindset has to shift. 🙏🙏
Hi, I also want to do this to become a more ML-aware Backend developer. What kind of projects are you working on and how did you start learning ML. I don't want to go through all those 101 courses and bore myself. any good suggestions?
This video is great. The biggest issue with ML is that there is basically no modularity. As soon as the output of one model is changed (dimensionality, non-linear output values transformation, ...) and the output is an input for another model/s, the entire cascade of models needs to be retrained. (which is time-consuming and brings a lot of trouble when re-adjusting dependent models).
Great insights. I am an experienced software engineer and learning machine learning currently. I want to transition to ML full-time, but I’m wondering how the levelling looks like after that? Will I have to start from entry level ML job? How did it look like for you?
I have two sons in the University of Toronto. One in computer science One in computer engineering Both intend to do a two year masters What should they do in AI in their masters, other than ethics and cybersecurity? Provide five areas to choose from. Thank you.
Are you considering making the shift from SWE to MLE? Have any questions? Drop them in the comments below!
Studying machine learning engineering. I will definitely be considering MLE.
Yes, I want to switch by how to have working experience, as most tech companies ask for prior experience.
Need more tutorial end to end machine learning engineer with docker, github, gcp, etc
I’m switching from Chemical Engineering and now doing a PG program from UT Austin in AIML.
Why tensorflow removed the gpu training support on windows? Big 😓
I never expected a video to suddenly solve my dilemma of SWE vs MLE that has been going on for a few days now. Superb!
This is probably the best video and should be the first video every SWE watches before diving into the world of ML. Thank you. Thank you! x3
Glad it was helpful, share it with a friend if you think they could benefit from watching!

Its like academic research
Do you like ml more than software engineering?

Im a data engineer, and I also study ML in the cloud. If it's needed I can proceed in this domain, it is very exciting.

Thank you.
What does one need to do in order to land their first role as an MLE? (Assuming one has studied machine learning and is a SWE)
great , I am more clear about it , but still I dont know should I move to MLE or I should continue working as SWE ?
Great content. Like to see more content like this.
Any tips for switching from classic computer vision to ML-DL? I've been reading the State of the Art papers and other videos.
Great insights 🚀🚀
Well now I don’t want to become a ml engineer 😂
