the best way to get good at something is usually to just practice actually doing the thing in question.

a lot of very capable people outsmart themselves with complex plans that involve working a lot on fake prerequisites.

@AsfiShaheen I feel it'd be really cool if there was someway to democratize equity research, such that anyone could use a first principles based approach to decide for themselves whether Nvidia or any other stock is worth buying.

@jsmian great write up. what's your view on inflation, are we heading into a staglation scenario?

@tauriel_2 If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

@tauriel_2 It is the star to every wand'ring bark
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom:

@tauriel_2 really interesting - the experimental form of sentence structure certainly has a Joycean feel to it.

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry.

Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through.

I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me.

I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.
