"The market" is just a set of order books. I don't find it weird that technical analysis work some times in some markets. Fully systematic traders exist and make money. Efficient Markets Theory says they shouldn't, but t

I understand "Lisp-style" as building (stateless) mini-APIs early and everywhere. Isn't this very data-centric in nature?

I think one needs to be clear about what type of content one is learning. Is it rote memorization like anatomy? Or is it more conceptual like system design? It seems to me that you want to apply memorization techniques, or even high school
