Watch out for selection bias. The question is what are the odds you are going to pick the right fad?

- zdkl 9y agoIt's not about picking the right fad, it's about not getting sucked into those with no future. That's the hard part.
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoI very much agree, hence the two latter items in the list. Fundamentals need to be much stronger to deal with decades worth of passing fads than I thought they needed to be when one set of fads seemed permanent (ie: when I was young and starting out). The best way to not get caught up in fads is to be the one out in front propagating real, effective new technologies or methods and letting other people turn some into fads and some not. "The best way to predict the future is to create it."
