This episode triggered me. Back in University about 15 years ago, I was so passionate about GPGPU with CUDA, using it to solve applied math sims in real time while my classmates were stuck with 2-concurrency in matlab parfor.
But then I sold out and started my career at a company building web services as it wasn’t easy to find any good paying jobs wanting CUDA engineers.
Now I really regret leaving it behind. I still dream to code graphics and CUDA stuff but I’d have to play catch up in my spare time which I really don’t have any of.
Follow your passion kids!
