kids...
this is kinda - important as i look back..
in 2003 - i barely 'passed'..
i guess - u all will feel 'hopeless' after this year.
same was 2003. recession off java bubble
north was just - call centers and few companies.
i had health issues - for final 2 years : i was in ashram : for 'treatment'..
even then - i implemented - non linear feed forward linear shift register - NLFSSR based crypto algo as usable visual c++ program
single handedly. with much tools and ui
but the middkle klass - was 'well' off.
dey had seniors, fathers, brothers in tech and a ladder to climb
i had to take care of duties of my ded father and his 'burdens/duties'
in 2004 : i fully committed to my 'path' in life..
that was my hardest 0 : 0 money, 0 repute, 0 college, 0 friends
and -N - burdens of hindu-sim
i made it den..
this was - nothing.
all i did - was open source and experiments.
no surname, no industry puppa - 0.
this is 'easy'. 😀
today - is the same.
sure it may look 'different' - the 'scale' is bigger.
but look at silver lining - demand is bigger too.
and dere is enough money and credit to go around.
a new market and a better 1. 😇
