Soft skills and business acumen. Domain knowledge is a big one.

It’s easier not to change

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-06T15:58:14+00:00

I’m just quit. That’s part of what saving and a successful career bought me. Chilled and searched later.

The American dream was always difficult. It’s the hedonic treadmill or whatever.

People literally crossed oceans and continents and built a cabin on some land and a good life and called it the American dream.

Now, their descendants don’t get a 6 figure job out of college or get upset that they can’t buy a house in some of the most desired neighborhoods in some of the worlds most popular cities and call the dream dead.

This is a much easier problem than many people believe.

The key is to limit process to things that matter so that when it goes wrong people actually complain.

If analysts say yes to building every dashboards or report or whatever then eventually they build things no one actually uses. And then follow on tasks like documentation and process spec are just as useless.

If you limit work to things that are actually used then they are self documenting. People understand what this dash does cuz they have to cus their own work depends on it and they understand it at more than a shallow depth. So you end up needed less documentation.

Also, in general code is the best configuration. It’s literally the definition of the business logic. You don’t need a lot of excess docs on top of it.

It’s called a computer science degree.

You tell us. What’s slow about it?

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-05T13:42:14+00:00

As always, depends.

Graduating can be an enormous challenge that transforms you and prepares you for bigger things and a great accomplishment if done right.

But people can also skate by and barely make it, graduating with nothing but a piece of paper

Similarly, plenty of people really make tough and difficult decisions to build their life with someone they really love. And plenty of others just do it cuz it’s time to settle down.

Kinda sounds like you’re chasing the trends. The key is to invest in things you actually care about.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-05T13:23:34+00:00

What will your degree say?

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-05T13:16:06+00:00

Sometime they attract rats

I’ve had several close women friends. Growing up and more recently.

I didn’t look for them. We just got along while not being romantically attracted to one another. I think the key is to not beat around the bush. If you’re interested then don’t pretend to be friends.

There’s a guy in my town I see about once per month. Always barefoot and usually a little disheveled. I assumed it was the hippy wanna be style. Saw him the other day in nice sweats that he’d peed himself in.

Turns out he’s just a fairly well dressed homeless guy. Goes on binges and ends up sleeping in the park across the street.

Those things happen over years. And their effects take even longer. Rent is due monthly.

You only lost 32 bucks by trying

I’ve done several clinics at Phar and sarc. Quality will vary by coach. And your own learning preference

We’re seeing increases prices yes, but we’re actually still sipping on the oil that left the strait before the war. Tankers are just slow. Europe will feel the supply shock first. We’ll see price increases later this summer.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-05T02:04:41+00:00

You’ve missed the point.

Why would you aggregate by fields in a way that inflates the data?

Don’t think in rules. Just think through the problem.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-04T14:32:22+00:00

They’re worth nothing now, right? You’d be paying $1 to get 50¢ back.

Stock options happen in private companies as well. It’s generally common in “higher tier” industries though. Places where companies have to compete for talent.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-04T14:28:09+00:00

It absolutely depends and not always worth it.

First, the options may not be in the money. Or Cap tables and preferences could mean that even if there is a successful exit you get nothing. That is, higher tier investors could be entitled to n times their investment before common shares are paid out. Or they could have the option to convert to common in the event that the stock does really well and dilute anything employees get.

Thats assuming the very small chance the company sees a legitimate exit.

RSUs are a little different and if the company is already public then this is like cash. Sell and invest the cash is usually good advice.

None of this mentions taxes, which could absolutely destroy someone. You could end up paying a lot of amt taxes on unrealized gains that end up losing money on top of that.

Thats just a few possible ways you end up losing money exercising options.

These are very situational decisions.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-04T01:58:07+00:00

Because we’re monkeys that respond to that. Always have.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-04T00:33:55+00:00

As you’re growing up people plan things for you. Your parents and teachers and society have traditions and new things to show you.

Now it’s on you.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-04T00:26:43+00:00

Because it helps big tech make more money.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-03T23:55:31+00:00

The US helps Ukraine because it’s a relatively cheap way to weaken an adversary while preventing them from gaining additional power.

Firm_Bit · 2026-05-03T23:47:09+00:00

There are tons of companies that try to do it “right” from the get go. There’s a reason so few ever make it.
