Makes sense. We have joiners once every 6 months and we tend to work on greenfield projects, so the docs get out of date pretty quick. I could try to emphasize more to the joiners to keep them up to d…

Probably, but does that matter? Isn't Vercel an AWS wrapper as well?
comment
Yeah. I'm been tempted to move into product management because I care a lot more about the business side than your average dev. Then I need to constantly remind myself of what I've observed …

Ah, I get it now, thanks!

I wrote about the AI stock market craze in my blog https://learningquant.com/blog/202406/invest-ai-stocks/ The TLDR is that the market will come down once it becomes cl…

Appreciate the detailed answer. The onboarding process you outlined would be ideal indeed (especially #4!). Unfortunately I have neither the resources/power nor the political capital to demand th…

Not sure how this is related to the post. Should I have sent the article to them for a second chance?

Can't be bothered timing it, not my post anyway lol.

Having interacted with product managers in large corporates, I feel like that's only 1/3 of the work. 2/3 is navigating the corpo BS.

Yeah. I'm tempted to do an analysis on this as well to see if things have changed. Maybe dissect it by type of submission.

Makes sense. Thanks! I like how you explain your algos in your Substack, I've subscribed to the newsletter. I'll send you an email if that's okay?

Why not just spin up a server for your extension?

> HTMX doesn't require Django - you can use it with any web framework you like I agree, but that wasn't the point I was making. My point was to question why a simpler build system should …
comment
> no separate build systems, or mess of dependencies Why is that necessarily a bad thing? Django's build system is atrocious too; eg there's no consensus around what web server you should…

Makes sense. Appreciate the conversation! Don't have people to talk to in my personal network about this topic.

comment
Fair enough. How come you didn't look into other strategies? And what did you switch your focus to? Asking because I want to keep my options open for now, while I figure out if this will work for…

Not necessarily. It's well known that strategies only work under certain conditions (scale, market dynamics, etc). And there's a lot of noise these days, so even if you're right it'…
comment
I share your skepticism. But I'm trying (forcing) myself to keep an open mind so I don't want to completely dismiss the strategy. I listened on a podcast where a crypto algo trader said he&#…
