Always code as if the person who ends up maintaining your code is a violent psychopath who knows where you live. (I maintain my own code, so the as-if is true.)

Two days ago the NYT posted an investigation into politicians trading stocks

They found that 81 Democrats & 101 Republicans filed up to 3,700 trades and $100M in possible volume

Many had 100% winners, with some perfectly timed

Here’s examples of just how good they were

Can't imagine how anyone could look at human history, the caprices, the shifts, the meanderings, then look at themselves, and decide their measure of worth is "will I still be relevant 200 years from now"

It's walking a path of misery, for yourself and towards others

Key skill to building a complex system that they don't teach you in school: how to add enough breadcrumbs — logs, metrics, alerts, etc. — for operators to understand what happened for events of arbitrary weirdness. Best way to learn is to do it wrong enough times.

Software is this weird space where you can spend basically nothing and create a billion dollars of value, or spend a billion dollars and create basically no value.
