[Lessons From Mentor] Never Lose Focus!

Aditya August 27th

I recently wrote a post on the latest processor architecture innovation – The 64-Core Processor under Innovations category of my blog. When I wrote that post, it made enough sense to me because I am a VLSI Design Engineer and I could relate most of the concepts very easily. But for a lay man reader, it would have been a non relevant post. 

My mentor, Rajesh Setty observed this fact immediately. He suggested me that it was an article that many of my readers can’t identify with -
unless I clearly lead them to see an underlying concept (innovation)
in a lay man’s terms.  I updated that post again to explain the technical background and explain the innovative aspect. I hope that post makes sense to you guys.

What is the lesson learned?
The main focus of this blog is to share my experiences and knowledge with would be entrepreneurs,  recent graduates, students and all others who are interested in understanding day-to-day philosophies. And most of the readers of this blog are from these communities only. Few of them are from engineering background, but many are from non-engineering background as well. Even in engineering community, very few are from VLSI background.

So either I shouldn’t have written much about VLSI Innovations or should have explained it in lay man’s terms. I shouldn’t write something, which my readers aren’t interested in reading, and which they aren’t grasping very clearly if they are interested in reading.

In short, the lesson learned from my mentor is – NEVER lose focus on the blog unless you want to lose your readers.
