Episode notes

This chapter discusses the speaker's pitch to Uber for a project called ACDI, an autonomous collision detection interface. They explain how the system uses machine learning to detect the driver's hand position in a car and assist with driving. The chapter also touches on the importance of getting young people, especially marginalized communities, interested in technology.

Iddris Sandu is only 22, but his life story is already legendary. This Architectural Technologist learned to program at the age of 11 and has worked with everyone from Kanye West to Nipsey Hussle to Space X. We talk coding, web design, holograms, and how programming works and what languages should you learn and why it's important. The designer and entrepreneur also shares his creative process, favorite programming languages, philosophies on future technology and why empathy matters in life and in design. He’s a true inspiration and Alie shamelessly begged him for life advice. Bonus: this one is pretty kid-friendly so spread it around to anyone who needs a new hero.
