Would anyone be interested in an engineering learning community?
In the age of AI, it's easier than ever to get answers.
But getting answers isn't the same as understanding the engineering principles behind it.
I'm thinking of starting a Singapore-based community for people who want to build a deeper understanding of engineering, not just how to use tools or how to use AI, but the principles behind them.
Topics could include:
- Software engineering
- Embedded systems
- Robotics
- Electronics
- Networking
- System architecture
- AI & Machine Learning
- Computer science fundamentals
- Cloud computing systems
The community would be open to:
- Students looking to strengthen their foundations around the above topics
- Working professionals who want to deepen their technical knowledge
- Self taught software developers looking to get more in-depth
- Vibe coders who want to understand what's happening behind the code AI generates
The focus would be on in-depth technical discussions, learning from first principles, breaking down complex topics together, and helping each other develop a deeper understanding of engineering, not just sharing AI-generated answers or one off presentations during themed monthly meetups.
Inspired by the Feynman approach: one of the best ways to learn is by explaining concepts to others.
Would anyone here be interested? I'd also love to hear what format people would prefer forum-style discussions, collaborative learning sessions, topics of interest or project-based discussions.
edit: I will be reaching out over DM to collect expectations and feedback before gathering everyone together
