It's the last episode of season 3 before we take a break for a few weeks! Chandra shares his AI project and the challenges and enjoyment of programming. We chat about the different types of projects that we enjoy: Chandra loving the exploratory and exciting new things and Raffy focussing more on implementing things that already exist.
We also focus on our personal highlights of the year and discuss potential changes to the podcast for the future. We almost became too deep in reflections on life so to balance, the episode ends with a random note about sardine oil.
But for the future, we are seriously considering a name change to improve the podcasts discoverability. Any suggestions?
Takeaways
It's fun to discover new things but there's also a challenge in implementing the innovations in to the day-to-day
Reflecting on the highlights and challenges of the year can help in setting future goals.
Time is finite, and it's important to make the most of the limited time we have.
Finding the right balance between work, play, and rest is essential for a fulfilling life.
