TLDR - I'm teaching my local community to code. My vision is to show tech companies that you don't need to spend money to find good engineers. You can invest in your local community instead and you will find really talented engine

That's thinking really far, good stuff. The trading company (Ameritrade for example) insures up to a certain point. Ameritrade wouldn't let you make that trade if you don't have enough capital to back that trade. Lets say you

Possible high return per stock, 10% drop = $60 drop per share, which equates to a potential $6k profit. You could do the same with Tesla, Google, AMZN. Any strong stable company with reason to fall other than the market trend would do. Agai

I started doing this 3 weeks ago. Lucky me. The drop has been spectacular, as were the drops in 2008 and 2000. I only buy in after seeing spectacular drops. Again I’m not saying it’s the right strategy, I’m saying look into puts, study, obs

Good job asking from the other perspective. Here it is (over simplified to state a point, you would need to do more research). Let's say Tesla stocks are at 700. If someone offered 2k in addition to the opportunity to buy tesla at $620

30 year fixed at 2k / month, 3bed 2bath in Berkeley. I plan to continue paying 2k / month for the next 22 years there's no point paying it off early. Like I said originally, the puts are there to make sure that if market dips

if the market bounces back my RSUs goes back and I'm back to where I was. I don't plan on harvesting my put profits, I'm secretly hoping I lose it all.

But its not a troll. My donations are no different from a startup founder going all in. Except my vision doesn't end up with me making billions of dollars. I'm working towards a vision where people around me has food to eat, gets

I'm all set myself. My only expenses are taxes and mortgage. I grow my own food in the backyard for fun and I'm pretty sure I can scale it up when the going gets tough. Personally, I believe that giving should be done without expe

that's right, I don't work at chipotle and I made sure I don't short my employer's stock. Also correct, I'm essentially shorting the entire equity market. Chipotle is very volatile so there would be quite an upside

I have alot of unvested RSUs and my reasoning is that if 2008 repeats itself, there is a real chance I may get laid off and lose my RSUs. I donate most of my income and I have very little savings. To protect myself, when I see sharp dips in

The one takeaway I learned from 2007 is to buy puts when I feel like there is going to be a recession. It may just give me enough money to last a year or two if I lose my job. Starting last week, I bought a put (just 1) in Chipotle (No part

I think if a bootcamp is good enough, it will feed people directly into jobs (possibly without even a technical interview). This is my dream, I have no idea how realistic it is. My library experience (and my work experience) is one giant ex

Sorry, in all honestly I don't know enough back my previous claims, I'm speaking from my personal perspective (which may be biased). Some of the regular students that come into the library lives off non-profit assistance and one i

The onboarding experience is so good. I was dropped into a nostalgic interface that I recognized and I immediately knew what was going on and started exploring. Everything made sense and I happily signed up. Good Job!

You nailed it. I focus on code reviews and I agree that its the best way to teach programing. It teaches them how to structure their code to be maintainable. Just getting it to work is not good enough, you have to think about the engineer w

Thanks for asking! 1. I simply created the meetup group. Showed up, people came. It was empty the first week couple of days, I just made it a point to show up. When there were no people, I simply just read hn or did some work. When the firs

I'm not a fan of bootcamps because I think a lot of them are more focused on making money than actually helping people who need help. Last year I decided to take action and started a free coding group at our local library: https:&#x2F
