Ahem.

The deal is that, these days am spending some significant time also on working with youngish tech-entrepreneurs who are building some avant-garde engineering products (not necessarily software, thank Iswara!) – in terms of gratuitous advice and also tangible work in certain tech areas in which I seem to (= pretend to) have developed some competence (and bleddy hell, wtf, have the necessary gray-hair to show for it, etc).

So, one of those outfits wanted me to bore to death, a bunch of its impressionable young engineers & scientists – by giving them some uncalled-for gyan on the mindset & actions required for product building and therefore for continuous learning through-out life and the like…

And so, I created a one-pager doc, to provide me with some prompts/pointers (no value or detailed expositions) even as I went about delivering the gyan – over three 1-hour sessions; let me say that, apparently most of the lads and lasses found it to be useful. Or may be they were being merely polite. Whatever.

Anyway, many of them wanted this one pager FWIW, for their reference and the like; so, I thought I should be also be presumptuous enough to assume that, some of the readers of this blog may also relate to some parts of it.

And so.

Text version of the above document.

Of course, there is/was nothing in the exposition that was earth-shaking, au contraire – much has been borrowed from my personal experience and from those fantastically great folks who walked (or walking) the path.

Anyway.

YMMV. Of course.
