   I don't really understand how Buy Side can be all that good still. AQR is in trouble, Bridgewater had their first loss in decades, Millennium was good, 2 Sigma is OK if unspectacular, Citadel is good, Point72 is still struggling, Rente

   I can't read it but sounds like a good thing. Its always a waste to see our smartest developers working on social media or advertising. Hopefully the teams at Google can improve our healthcare which would be one of the most rewarding t

   I've heard this too, except it got really annoying to be working crazy hours doing annoying crap while you have a team of devs working 40 hrs working on interesting tech with not much pressure. I burnt out, now I delegate lots of crap

    What no mention of elite colleges, Ivy League? Children get on the treadmill very early now, best feeder schools to get into Stanford/Harvard. I find it easy to ignore most of the time, but maybe that great company that I wanted to wor

    I'm in a similar position. I think if you have experience they really try to interview you for senior positions where you are defining technical architectural standards and teaching others. That makes it tough if you just want to code,

    I'm very sympathetic to the European view, but it was pretty disappointing to see Europeans forces do very little in Yugoslavian civil wars, Libya, Ukraine.

    Can anyone reconcile the difference between $227k median wage in SV and the fact that even entry level jobs listed pay more than than? Is it just the most SV jobs are not in FANG companies.

    Its seems all languages are just copying each other at this point. I know C++ hates to be left out of anything so maybe this is appropriate, but to me its really destroying the ecosystem. It was great to have different languages having diff

    I remember in 98 a lot of investment managers said we're in a bubble and went conservative. They missed out of a lot of upside and many got fired. Nobody knows whats going to happen this year, probably depends mostly on the election.

    When I've learnt something it often is helpful to get well known problems so you get to compare to how other solve it too. Kaggle was good for big data stuff like that. I'm not sure about ML.
