This is my little corner of the internet :) I hope you take a gander around and explore! https://adityas129.github.io/about/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://adityas129.github.io/about/ Hi there - I am Adi! I am currently a Computer Engineering student at the Universiy of Waterloo with a special affinity to Deep Learning, Data Science and Engineering. Three years ago, I chose to study Engineering to learn the skills I need to make products that impact lives of many people. A lot has changed since then; my reason for doing what I do though, has not. I aspire to leverage the skills that I have to develop projects that are exciting, ambitious, vertical, and impactful. https://adityas129.github.io/contact/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://adityas129.github.io/contact/ Want to reach out?

I hope to use this as a space to track all habits that I have successfully integrated into my lifestyle. In this case, success is defined as persisting the habit for > 21 days consecutively.

How do I manage information intake? What aspects of my identity are worth preserving? How do I conquer the mind and it’s primal needs? How do I rapidly iterate my understanding of a very niche area and become a domain expert? How should I increase my rate of learning as a developer? Is specialization in technical skills worth it or is being a generalist more aligned for my goals? https://adityas129.github.io/reading/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://adityas129.github.io/reading/ books List of all books that I have read and their reviews Skin in the Game by Taleb Meditations by Aurelius Bhagvat Gita Shoe Dog Coming Storm Ender’s Game Deep Work So Good They Can’t Ignore You Zero to One Ego is the Enemy List of Books I want to re-read Zero to One Deep Work So Good They Can’t Ignore You Meditations by Aurelius Bhagvat Gita Book Wish list
