Don't settle for mediocrity. If you're going to do something, go all in. Focus intensely on a topic, field, or skill for a good stretch of time—whether that's six months or a year. Commit fully and don't stop until you're genuinely satisfied with what you've achieved. Don’t.

Learn MLOps. It’s impossible to land a job as an MLE or data scientist if you just have theoretical knowledge and can code in Python. As you scale things you realize Jupyter notebooks or scripts aren’t enough for you. You need to track data, version them, track model.
