Machine Doing is a personal blog at elazungu.wordpress.com about programming and ai. Since 2011, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times. The last post was in 2022, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Cited once as a related earlier post on the tension between software work in academia and in industry. The linked posts cover leaving academia for science PhDs and the researcher-programmer divide.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Runaway academic with a background in Computer Science and AI. Fascinated by Engineering and Unmanned Systems. Currently working on Self Driving Vehicles. Motivated by applications with an impact. Not technology.
What Hacker News says?
I recently did a blog post about a similar issue, the tension between doing software work in academia vs in industry. In a way a kind of prequel to this post. http://elazungu.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/the-researcher-prog...
