What you get to do well is mostly downstream of what you refused to do at all.

AI & Data Engineer @TomTom
What do you do?
I'm an AI engineer at TomTom, building production agents and the data-platforms underneath them.
Why?
Because I like the moment when something I built gets used by someone I didn't have to convince. The unglamorous parts (evals, data quality, the discipline that keeps systems up over a year) are what I enjoy getting right, and they're also what separates a demo from software people actually use.
What should we read?
"We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe" by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. Cosmology and particle physics made genuinely funny. The whole book is structured around what physicists don't know yet, which is most of it.
