I wasn't really sure how engineers would actually make use of that knowledge. Do you just like forget about it when you actually go off to do work? Or do you write down equations on paper? It was actually not clear as an early engineering student what you do. But when I started writing the first generation on real engine and I was dealing with 3D math, I was like, wait, I know this stuff.

I learned this. Yeah. And so suddenly, like the karate kid, you get to paint the fence and wax the car and suddenly put all the pieces together into a 3D engine based on a whole lot of accumulated programming language and math knowledge. Often knowledge gained without ever anticipating that I might use it in that way.

That's right, and constantly striving to make connections between these fields and look for their applications. Long after I chipped on Unreal Engine, it was like going back through an engineering textbook and looking at, oh, yeah, I used that, I used that, I used that. And then I got to the section on eigenvalues. I'm like, I don't know what the hell this is.

But, you know, it turns out eigenvectors and eigenvalues were the critical breakthrough that made the Google search engine technology work and stand apart from the rest because they found if you threw all the links that exist in the web and, you know, links from and to different sites and you put them in a giant matrix and you found the dominant eigenvalues, then those eigenvectors described the best search results for different things.

And so constantly... Picking up knowledge and looking for ways to put it together is the thing to do. And if you aspire to be a programmer, you've got to write a lot of code and you've got to continually learn new things and improve. If you want to be an artist, you've got to continually draw artwork of all styles and all kinds and constantly push yourself to learn more and more.

Because you never know exactly what you're going to end up doing in the long run, but the more knowledge you have and the more skills, the more chance you have putting it together and being successful.

I found getting an engineering degree and then never working in an engineering field, just being a computer programmer, was immensely valuable. Yeah, I went to University of Maryland, which for some disciplines, it's kind of known as a party school, but they work the engineers to death, worked really hard.
