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 case? It's not as if all startups ou

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 of you succeeding won't be good, of

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.

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 :)

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 is a strategy with high-probability of p

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

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 past our architect. Maybe if it's ope

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 something a wrapper of its components without

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 not working so far. Would be nice to follo

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 advice really, that was quite an ideal ti

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.

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 to start a self-funded business in this

...and the RSS is now live! https://learningquant.com/rss.xml (need to mention it on the website) Let me know if that works for you, it's my first time I've set up an RSS.

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. Looks like it should be pretty straightforw

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 trader? Also I didn't mention in the

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 date; unfortunately I'm not their li

Probably, but does that matter? Isn't Vercel an AWS wrapper as well?

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 ^_^ What kind of job did you switch to a

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 them. So I end up with the compromise you

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

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.
