We are currently at a paradigm shift moment in computing: the field is shifting from an era focused on coding exact and optimal algorithms to solve specific problems toward a data-driven era where we provide vast data and compute to machine learning systems and accept that we sacrifice guarantees of correctness and optimality in exchange for practical power.

Evidence Quote

in Computing I genuinely believe that the world is Shifting now from a kind of an era where we were very interested in coding exact and optimal algorithms and thinking what is the right algorithm for solving this problem now it's give us the data we'll just throw it at machine learning and let machine learning sort it out
