I've been building neural nets in Python & Pytorch for a while but felt like I truly appreciate what was happening under the covers. So I set out to build an autograd engine from scratch in Rust.
This blog is a step-by-step tutorial on how to build nanograd in about 300 lines of code. The github repo is in the blog as well.
Have you considered going back to school? It sounds like you need a career reset and school is honestly a good way to do that. There are plenty of CS grad programs that will help you up-skill and give you better prospects for finding a job through the school itself or through networking with other students. Obviously, there is the financial element here but it's an investment in yourself. It's up to you to make it pay off.

This is so disingenuous. HC started and managed several of the biggest OSS projects out there. They significantly contributed to and evangelized OSS for over a decade. It's easy to say "we don't need their support" when you're piggybacking off of 13 years of their work and money.
I think that's what frustrates me about this whole thing. It's not the actual forking of terraform but it's the attitude that the companies and people behind OpenTF have had as they've gone through this. There's been a certain smugness and sense of entitlement that this entire thing gives off which doesn't sit right with me. Don't forget that the main drivers behind this are companies that stand to lose the most (commercially) from the licensing change. It's not as altruistic as they make it seem.
I would probably feel better about it if they just came out and said that this impacts their business prospects and as a result they're forking it. But they put this "we're doing this for the community" veil over it which feels disingenuous.
