Products are built to fail.

In many ways underestimate the impact of domain knowledge. Can we have one forecasting algorithm for

  • Retail Product Sales
  • Oil Sales
  • Stocks Predictions
  • Car Sales 

If everything can be built just by one algorithm we would need to close all ML shops in a month. We underestimate domain knowledge and believe fancy tech and tools will have the ability to read and give all the fine-tuning. 

Keep Going, Sometimes tech does not understand business, and products are built to fail.

Knowledge is 

  • Mapping business to tech to support futuristics ways of new business changes
  • Making it flexible to scale, port, migrate
  • Think Business first, Scale next, Tech at last
What is the new learning format
  • Domain understanding - Technology evolves faster than we think. New forms of business evolve
  • Data understanding - Know the type of data - speed / slow data
  • Research paper - Insights / Blogs - Look for Leaders in the space and their tech stack, Look for research papers and insights
  • Model development / Model implementation
Keep Thinking!!!
