Exactly, IMO the point of autopilot is to be a passenger in your own car with a guarantee that it won't cause and accident. If you have to be ready to take over, then what's the point?

From working in a somewhat related discipline, the PDKs for the high end nodes (think tsmc N16 and lower) are quite hard to obtain and require your org to pass security audit. In addition to that the cadence licenses are priced very much for a big-org rather than a startup.

Does your chip absolutely need a modern node? I'm assuming you've seen the open source skywater pdk, but here it is just in case. https://github.com/google/skywater-pdk

I have a similar question, someone I know in their early 50s who has 20 years experience teaching computing at HS level.

How viable is it to get into software?

The main issue is that there is no option for them to stop working to learn full time.

Thank you for the reply, I think this is quite achievable. Do you think a project done "just for fun" works too? I had a thought about writing something like a simple fluid simulation toy, or is it better to focus on something like a webapp that's actually useful.

Hi! My name is Nikita and I'm working as a technical consultant in financial services. Having graduated with an MSc in Data Science (distinction) worked as a software engineer for just over a year specialising in regulatory reporting. We were using an ETL pipeline built on top of Oracle. Right now I am looking for a junior SWE/ML engineer role.

Currently I'm trying to pick up a bit of C++ to contribute to an open source project, excited to have extra time to improve my skills during the lockdown.

Having briefly worked in the industry for one of their competitors, you wouldn't believe how they treat their staff and customers. Also all the cars are leased.
