Yes, I agree! Metrics are extremely important in screening out for value stocks. What I'm saying simply is that there is no singular magical metric that can wipe out hours and hours of research. To simply list all stocks by EV/F

The same could be said for Facebook. What you're referring to is an irrational market responding to news and creating a sale on an asset. "Facebook on discount, buy now!" If you bought at the nadir of the $FB dip you'd a

I belong to a fair number of value investing forums and made money off of the strategy for a while. Here's why I think this no longer works in the traditional sense and what works now: The rise of quants, ETFs, and instant information

I had to do something similar when I started my consulting business. I was very aggressive about finding work, and it breaks down like this, for every week day: 1. Reach out to 5 contacts in my network. Ask them if their company needs any c

Thank you for the feedback! Do you have examples of screen caps you like? I had considered this but decided to take it out because of wanting to keep to the old school terminal aesthetic. Plus since I do a lot of programming, I figured link

I'm so in alignment with this. I've always hated standups. As a night owl, it's a morning meeting I have to make every single day and I hate it. I also don't understand how I can't just communicate in Slack to say &

Or basically one Adobe. Which is pretty wild. But honestly, this is a short-term mis-pricing and over-reaction. Might as well think of this as "Facebook stock on sale, 20% off!". But since Facebook makes up such a big percentage o

When I was young I played a game like this called Modus Operandi by Simutronics and it was some of the most fun I'd ever had. Apparently there is a resurgence[1] of this type of gaming and a community behind it. I think there is still

Communicate with your team a physical signal for what is focus time and when you're open to "office hours." The simplest example could be "if I have headphones on" or you can have some sort of trinket on your desk t

As someone else mentioned, it's much easier to just use ImageOptim if you're on Mac. There's also a CLI and accompanying tool for NPM that includes this and ImageAlpha and JpegMINI: https://www.npmjs.com/packa

This is a great list! But I guess I figured this list would be categories within tech (e.g. UI, AI, AR/VR, Networking, Security, et al), rather than tech being one of a large collection of categories that generally don't resonate
