Question: Are you assuming that "transitioning to industry" means writing code?

Observation: Your background sounds fairly similar to that of Richard Feynman. Who was famously involved in the design of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_machine . (Also - https://longnow.org/essays/richard-feynman-connection-machin... )

I intentionally left "transitioning to industry" vague, but yes—most paths would likely involve some coding.

I'm actually working on path integrals, to which Feynman contributed significantly, but I hadn't heard about the Connection Machine! Thanks
