Ignore the numbers - the gist is being good enough at the right two or three things can create similar value for you as being the best at one specific thing. Everyone (for the sake of my argument) wants to be an engineer at a FAANG but ther

Options are just that - an option to transact at a certain price, if you choose not to you're just out the premium you pay. Short selling involves an obligation to return the shares, which has (theoretically) unlimited downside.

Like anything you want to become proficient at, you need consistent practice. How many free throws do you think LeBron has practiced? Now imagine you die if you miss. Also it’s fun to blast stuff.

IMO - verbosity, typing and compilation all get in the way of teaching a lot of the basics (logic, control flow, scope, functions, objects). With JS/Python, I think students can make small wins faster which helps them stay motivated. I

There's some useful information buried in here and it boils down to "follow a program, follow a diet, be consistent". The last one is the most important - long term consistency beats short term intensity any day. I'd rat

Since Cursor has released composer I’ve found myself using it more primarily due to better editor integration and the fact that I’m already paying for the tokens as part of the subscription. Aider has great docs and is more configurable but

Not really, once you get past senior the “shape” of staff+ engineers varies greatly. At that level the scope is typically larger which can limit the usefulness of LLMs - I’d agree that the greatest value I’ve gotten is from being able to qu

As a something of a k8s maximalist, I kind of disagree here. I think, especially for early stage and smaller teams, TF ends up being "closer to the metal" in the sense that there are fewer concepts and abstractions that need to be
