I'm afraid it's pervasive here as well. Just talk to people about AI :)

Hah, I just started using Django and was in need of background tasks!

Sounds like you've been unlucky. A couple of things I'd suggest: 1. network before applying to a job - linkedin, meetups, anything 2. look into adjacent careers - infosec, devops, customer s…

Interesting, any chance you could share your profile/blogs? For context, I'm a dev, prev a sales eng, and I miss being more involved in business. Feel free to DM me on LinkedIn (see my profi…

Middleware can only use a subset of NodeJS APIs https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/46722 …

I don't think anything involving Next.js is the future. The framework is overly complicated and very hard to self host.

Mind if I ask what specifically you do in comms?

Second Cloudflare. And it's super easy to hook up to domains registered via Cloudflare too.

While I do believe it provides liquidity in all cases, let's just focus on the zero-sum aspect. My response is - so what if it's a zero sum game? Why should someone care if that's the c…
comment
I agree that competitors could outsmart you. But that's just like in any other kind of business. Doesn't mean entrepreneurs should give up trying to start a business. And the probabilities o…
comment
Makes sense. The reason I highlighted is because I'm finding that most people overestimate how safe some investment strategies are without actually looking at the historical data.
comment
Not sure what you're replying to, that wasn't the question I asked.

Just bear in mind the S&P 500 had a drawdown of 60%, over 13 years, from 2000 to 2013 :)
comment
I haven't read Taleb's book. But wouldn't the logic you employ apply to any strategy? eg I could also say that you could fool yourself believing that investing in the S&P 500 index …

We're exposing our AWS infrastructure to a rando startup. There's more to purchasing than just the price.

pretty cool
comment
I think it's a good idea. We don't update our diagrams as much as we should, so new joiners struggle to get their heads around what's happening. But it'll be very hard to get it pa…

I'm pretty clueless about biology, so I'll assume the answer to that is a yes. Not sure what the purpose of the comment is though, it supports my argument that you can't just call somet…

Cheers, appreciate it!
comment
Hmmm, interesting, didn't know you could do that. I'd love to be in a situation where I can convince founders of what to build. I'm trying solo entrepreneurship as well but it's no…

the 1st one it says a bear put spread; 2nd one also the same or a synthetic short (long put + short call). https://chatgpt.com/share/d999aa46-e2f4-4bdf-b8e7-dfbc50dddb... …

Pretty much everything you said makes sense. > Jim Cramer is kinda of an idiot, but buying NVDA at about $75 (or whatever it was then) back then was actually incredibly good advice (life changing a…

I need to spend more time understanding the greeks. What I can say is that I've tried Interactive Brokers' "wizard tool" and they also recommended me put spreads.
comment
To be honest, I'd like to ask you about stuff beyond the tutorials. Do you do this full time? How long did it take until you got to make enough for a decent living?
Do you see any opportunities …

Hiya! I'm the creator of the blog, really appreciate the feedback, it's actually made my day (and it's only morning!). I'll look into adding an rss as soon as I have some time. Loo…

Just wanted to add that I appreciate the answer nonetheless. Let me know if there's someplace we can connect, I'm mostly on LinkedIn (see profile).

Jesus, this is quite a range of options. It's late where I'm at, I'll try to fully understand them tomorrow. But from a first glance they seem...very complex and risky for a beginner tr…
