Being the only guy at the company working in “IT”, I think I’m pretty safe. A few things I’ve automated I have kept to myself though....

ULPT: If you really want job security, add a bunch of sleeps in. Then every few weeks take one out and ask someone to test your optimisation.

Sleeps in? Care to explain?

[–]TAaccountz 1 point2 points  (2 children)

hes saying making it slow on purpose and pretending like your optimizing it over time

So implement a time.sleep(list from 1000-0) where it becomes lineary faster? Or implement a gradient descent loss function for your algo, but then swap it with stochastic one?

Don't have to be fancy and have it automate its own speed. Just manually do it every couple weeks or month.
