So many things chime in the paper, thanks. I was hugely frustrated by 'high growth tech' Cloud mtgs in London & Cambridge where no-one ever mentioned hardware or datacenter issues. I attended Cambridge Scientific Computing conf in '17 to hear RSE for 1st time. Many cultural issues in UK ecosystem

Last week was an interesting one for Open Source announcements - Ultra Ethernet, UAL, Chris Lattner's Modular and others in hardware. Tho the picture is different from the UK there is no doubt that there is a shift in attitude towards Infra.

Nice paper thank you

Several colleagues fr TI UK got MBAs (Cranfield). One became Arm CEO, other CMO. Fmr just got Knighthood, latter was on AMD BoD that recruited Dr Su & Mark P.
I'm proud of engineering achievements of teammates (esp networking chip devt) but agree Corp cultures flawed.
Never compromise integrity

I hope yr view of potential here is chg'd but dialogue ab tech scaling is decades old.

The good thing is that you feel that it is truly accelerated learning about the problems ppl are solving that you wouldn't discover at home.
Also, dialogue w ppl met xform'd once you've had F2F. Video is no substitute.

I regularly did France, Germany, Italy, Benelux and 3 weeks enough. I limited overseas to 2 weeks when sons small.

6—8 weeks in USA was OK but no travel.

I'd advise to bear in mind volume of follow up w ppl met too much on 30+ days.
Safe journey home and relax!

Plenty of frustrated French & EU techies hoping for opportunities to fulfill potential. Plenty of layoffs atm.
Tho talent like yours wld be welcomed.
Mistral fdrs trained at DeepMind, why so long to invest?
Progress on EU HPC chips not as hoped for so I'm cautious.
English still lang of tech.

This is offensive.
I'm a 40yr IEEE member and a grandmother.

Decades of sexism and stereotypes. Yet still no role models in UK I'd be happy to name for my granddaughter.

Sad and pathetic for a platform that is supposed to be better

I agree, fixing the Tech Xfer ecosystem is vital.
Universities have not created the E&T skilled people innovative companies need. Industry collaboration happens w/o HE.
UK needs attitude shift from the perception of engineering as a profession (see mortgages - my son is furious).

Soft Southerner! (I was raised in Bury, support ManC)

A 'round-robin' check of platforms is tedious especially when it's hard enough to digest trade & professional publications, analysts etc.
My YouTube feed is well trained so recommends useful talks & fun channels.
Medium, Mastodon et al not sticky
..

Memory not perfect so I just had to re-read this.
Lovely to see your progress.

I have a TBI so I can be super-organised as I often need 'prompts' to recall stuff. Obsessive OneNote user. I logically arrange stuff so yes icons collated, tabs grouped but I've (reluctantly) given up on email folders. I hope to use voice/AI agent add tags to stuff in future. I prefer paper books.

As a 40yr IEEE member in UK I'd love access to Keynotes or Tutorials from top confs in USA.
Tech is global but often suffers fr "group think".
By being more willing to share leading edge insights across industry sectors & E&T disciplines, we illuminate pathways for ppl keen to adopt fresh ideas.
