The hardest task for a senior engineer is to learn a new area where they will need to become a beginner again. But at some point, this is the only way to grow, and doing it successfully unlocks unique impact. Especially true for great engineers switching into machine learning.

The best engineers I know have made a career out of continuously reinventing themselves

Agreed Greg! Change is always around the corner. & if we can accept to let go of our biases and make the switch, that experience is valuable. Senior engineers aren't just experts in specific tech, they're also great at solving problems. That goes hand in hand with ML! - Arrigo

I have often told my staff, don't learn how to use a tool, understand the job the tool is doing. That way, when there is a new tool, you won't become obsolete.

This is not easy at all. It takes hell ol of efforts to adapt such changes, especially with years of experience! But it's worth it

This is true of everyone. Learning to be a beginner again is hard and valuable, but honestly quite fun!

In front of acquiring new knowledge every one is a beginner.

Take the imaginary scene and through motion connect it to a similar.
