I can see why the idea is tempting, ie testing multiple strategies and survival of the fittest. But in reality there are extreme downsides. Teams will lie and fudge data to get ahead. People dont trust their coworkers. I think this is wher

The ending of this post (lots of cheap knock-offs exist after someone finds a good idea) shows the challenges of designing a hardware product. Just having a cool idea, ie screw-tent-stake, isn't good enough because even if you were ab

When I was a kid, I used to love Mac and cheese dinner night! Now as a parent, I love Mac and cheese night even more! I can get both kids fed in 5 minutes and everyone is happy.

My last role involved doing security audits if all of our vendors. I knew these forms weren't fun and now I feel bad! Luckily I don't have to do that anymore.

It looks like GLD has underperformed SPY overall, with a lower Sharpe ratio (risk adjusted return). Gold did have a good run between 2010-2013 though! https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&t...

I have had issues with the traditional job boards like indeed since they all filter by location, maybe they handle "remote" better now though? It can be hard to know if a job is truly remote, or "remote" as in "onl

I am doing a lot of technical interviews, and it is very hard to find a good way to evaluate candidates. My current thinking is to ask a simple question which serves as a jumping off point to a bigger discussion touching on broader topics.

It takes a lot of effort to write good documentation. If the documentation is too low-level you get the extreme of "this function adds 1 to x" type comments which don't really help. If the documentation is high-level, many

There is nothing more frustrating than dealing with a BSer. Unfortunately I have found that a lot of effective BSers are actually pretty smart which makes sense since they tend to have some credentials to back up their arguments. The other

I think that was the correct call - hindsight is always easier to identify great stocks! In 2010, before I believed in index funds, I had an extra $1k and I was debating to put it in AAPL or this new thing I heard of called bitcoin. I ende
