AI/ML Journey

It’s been a few days since I posted an update here. Not because I wasn’t learning - in fact, the opposite. I was working through a mix of things, from structuring my year-long learning roadmap to actually fine-tuning large language models for the first time. Why I Wasn’t Posting Daily Simple: I needed to zoom out a bit. I took a couple of days to sketch out what I want to build in the next few months — not just random toy apps, but meaningful projects that actually challenge me to grow. ...

It’s Day 4, and today was a little different - not heavy on code, but still a strong day of learning. I’m trying to balance two learning paths right now: backend fundamentals with Go and ML + deep learning using PyTorch. Wrapping My Head Around Pointers and Structs in Go Most of today’s Go time was spent clarifying how data is passed and accessed when using pointers and structs. type User struct { FirstName string LastName string BirthDate string createdAt time.Time } func Struct_fn() { FirstName, _ := helpers.StrUserInput("Please enter your first name: ") LastName, _ := helpers.StrUserInput("Please enter your last name: ") BirthDate, _ := helpers.StrUserInput("Please enter your birthdate (MM/DD/YYYY): ") appUser := User{ FirstName: FirstName, LastName: LastName, BirthDate: BirthDate, createdAt: time.Now(), } outputsUserDetails(&appUser) } func outputsUserDetails(u *User) { fmt.Println(u.FirstName, u.LastName, u.BirthDate) } func (u *User) ClearUserName() { u.FirstName = "" u.LastName = "" } Even after completing the basics, I had to go back to ChatGPT, asking follow-up questions like: ...
