DevRel is basically marketing to devs. So it helps to be more marketer than dev. And these are like two opposite poles.

Maybe fighting it itself is a form of exercise. Maybe fighting it is an end in itself regardless if you got anything done. But not trying is the failure.

Wow this is great where can I find this type of advice that relates to how to structure your code essentially.

Just ship or push to clarify reqs until you ship. Don’t let anything else hold you back (oh let me ask my manager etc etc). Clarify the reqs, get sign off and ship. It’s that simple.

FAANG was only good for the name and the money. Now I would say neither. I think we are now in a post-FAANG world. Maybe at the highest levels sure you’ll clean up but not as FEE. Honestly there are a ton of private companies now (stripe, D

I must say that making my own starter, and making pizza from this.. incredible. It has been a very fun and fulfilling journey. It is better than going out for me and I now have it dialed in to where I can crank out 12 pizza in an hour from

It’s not what it used to be. I find people are more self-centered than ever. What to speak of friends even family will not spare a moment for you. Many couples do not have kids for this reason. Who wants to make that sacrifice. Covid accele

I mean in theory couldn’t anyone close to the news source transmit it somehow via an anonymous communication channel to someone else so they can make the trade. Even if there is an investigation they have to find the proof to make a convict

On further reflection I think the sweet spot for R for me Has always been prototyping and exploration. Where you don’t exactly know what the logic needs to be, or how the data needs to be cut to get at what you want. So that rapid type of e

Move on, you’re not married. If You can’t align on how to vet the problem then you can’t align on the dozen other things you need alignment on. Cut your losses and move. It’s not failure it’s pivoting. Take the learning and move on, and mak

Everything I need can get done in python, so I don’t even need to deal with rust and cpp. Adding language interop between r and cpp is now just another thing on my plate, so just stick to Python and pay the cost of less elegant code for dat

I will say, now after 15 years messing with this. With LLM I just do it all in Python. But, I still miss the elegance and simplicity of R for data manipulation and analysis. Especially the dplyr semantics. They really nailed it. I think the

What most people don’t see is that we are basically under “shadow austerity” to correct for the not so hyperinflation we saw post COVID. It is a combination of post WW2 Britain (China is the US in that analogy) - this helps to explain the C

Try and work it out. Walking away is the easy path and always there. See if there is someone you both respect who can mediate the disagreement. See if you can timebox the other partners idea to see if it will pan out. See if you are both wi

I think more reliable in Silico experimentation will yield much better results in the long run but is probably akin to a spacex or Tesla type of investment and 1-2 oom more compute intensive.

People say not to time it but if you took your profits December ish you’re probably much happier than if you had lost everything since then and reset to 6-12m ago unless you’re playing the short. There is a premium on mental health and mark
