You got about three months into prototyping your brand new algorithm before you tested it on some extremely clean panda data and it still doesn’t work. You’re nowhere near having something to match up any pandas for the upcoming panda breeding season and you’ve had three weekly update meetings with “no new results” your supervisor is already reducing your funding and you just know that it’s too late to pivot. You were not able to train an ML algorithm to optimize panda sex!

B McGraw has lived a long and successful professional life as a software developer and researcher. After completing his BS in spaghetti coding at the department of the dark arts at Cranberry Lemon in 2005 he wasted no time in getting a masters in debugging by print statement in 2008 and obtaining his PhD with research in screwing up repos on Github in 2014. That's when he could finally get paid. In 2018 B McGraw finally made the big step of defaulting on his student loans and began advancing his career by adding his name on other people's research papers after finding one grammatical mistake in the Peer Review process.
