2021 Year in Review
Eugene Yan
A software engineer at Amazon published a 2021 personal review covering work achievements, goals met and missed, and a new project. The author wrote 34 posts (missing a 48-post target), gave 10 talks, invested in two startups including one in ML production, and built ApplyingML.com, a site collecting tribal knowledge on machine learning systems through interviews with practitioners. The site traffic grew 30% year-over-year to 337,000 page views, email subscribers increased from 800 to 2,500, and the author's social media following expanded significantly across platforms.
Why it matters
Met most of my goals, adopted a puppy, and built ApplyingML.com.
