At a recent I/O conference of Google (May 2024), there was an interview of Sunder Pichai, CEO, Google with Varun Mayya, a content creator. They talk about AI. Pichai tells Mayya that there is an entire industry in India to help young Indians to crack the FAANG interviews. Pichai complains that many students who are smart do not focus on the fundamentals. Mayya asks Pichai for his advance to budding software engineers. Many of them have ‘competitive mindset’ and they have to prepare themselves for the future. They should come out of the competitive mindset. According to Pichai, real success comes when things are understood deeply. There is a difference between knowing something and understanding it. Once a technology is fully understood, one can transition, one can do things.
They talk about AI in India, wrapper startups and creative adoption of AI. They utter real gold.
