The UK is an amazing place as well if you are looking for tech jobs outside of Asia.
Almost all major companies have offices her plus a decent startup scene.

Not applying is the surest way not to get the ml job. Or try switching roles within the same company?
If you find the time you can do an online masters in Machine Learning from Georgia Tech for around $7k. You can hack on your own projects and build credentials.
Some companies might be willing to sponsor the OCMS course.

Maybe Blockchain. Is the adoption as much as the internet? I don't know if there's anything useful coming out of it.
Virtual Reality seems like a safer bet.

Hmm, I did this a while back. I realise that I should have suggested a Python 3 resource.
I wouldn't say that the course is geared towards devs at Python. From what I remember it's pure Python and there's nothing "Google" about it.

I'm 22 and I can empathize with you. I'd suggest seeking a psychologist to talk about your possible depression is the best thing you can do.
Otherwise, get into a routine? Try to include waking up on time, work , gym and exercise into that routine.
I've been trying headspace for the past week. It feels nice.
I've been thinking of project ideas to work on or people to work with. I wish there was a better way to find this. Maybe talk to your friends who are into such things?
Perhaps the best way to find co-founders and ideas and interesting work is to work for a startup? It allows you to learn about startups at someone elses expense.

Google's Python class is a pretty good start[0]. It's enough to get you started and moves at a nice pace! After that I'd hack on a project of my own. Even better if you have a project in mind before learning the language. This book by Jeff Knup will get you familiar with the pythonic way of doing things[1].

I had a similar question. What is today's equivalent of the internet of the late 90s?

A "Tiffin" in India is a meal in a box. There is this website https://tiffinplanet.co.uk/ that provides a tiffin service. That is serves Indian food to you for lunch/dinner. You can find similar services on Gumtree. I briefly subscribed to a Tiffin service that would advertise the food a day before and you could decide whether you were interested or not.

Wish you could configure a finger to erase all data if needed.

I saw one of the meal packs that was around 23.50 and said 3-4 meals, so I calculated it to be around $8/meal.
I agree that cooking can get quite exhausting, procuring ingredients, cooking and then cleaning up is a long process.
You are solving a real problem. Good luck!

Hey!
I'm am an expat who lives in the UK. I'm from India as well. $24 for 3-4 vegetarian meals seems really expensive, will you adjust pricing as you scale?
How do you plan on preserving taste and the "home cooked feeling" as you scale? This might be an absurd question at this stage, but a friend and I who wanted to get in this space couldn't come up with a good answer.
Personally, I just cook a lot of food whenever I cook so that I am able to do a couple of meals. I've recently considered having a soylent for dinner and I just ordered my first pack of Huel. I can cook whenever I want to eat really authentic food.
Here in the UK a lot of house wives provide a tiffin service. Is there something similar in the US?
Great website. Nice story. I wish you luck :)
