Journey into Software Engineering and the Role of Large Language Models

This chapter discusses the journey of starting to code, challenges faced in transitioning to more complex programming tasks, importance of clear goals in software engineering, and influence of large language models like GPT in understanding software packages. The conversation highlights the speaker's transition from basic programming with calculators to coding deep learning modules and the satisfaction of continually improving coding solutions. They emphasize finding specific interests within the field, the value of community learning, and the role of models like GPT in aiding new projects while cautioning against reliance on them for substantial code generation.
