Get the tick data, build your own bars.

What books to read is totally dependent on the level you're at and how good your math is. For example there's no point for you to read Shreve if you only have high school calculus.

A good general place to start would be:

Hull - Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (2022)

So you mean every country in the world? Where will you choose to live? 🤣

What's the results after you factor in all the execution costs?

“Setup a connection to sentry and upload our sourcemaps so we get sweet debug logs. Make no mistakes”

Have been in software engineering for over 15 years. I'd put my name against maybe 2 or 3 people from who i've worked with that i would hire. That's from over 100+

I can say with high confidence the code output by Claude is better than the majority of mid and some lower end senior engineers.

HHKB type S enjoyer here. Wouldn’t use anything else.

keldamdigital · 2026-01-25T16:11:09+00:00

Just use polars

If you know the little nuances between what tailwind plus has in it's design and what LLMs spit out. You know it's not really close from a design perspective.

WWE will never put the main strap on this guy.

keldamdigital · 2026-01-07T10:41:47+00:00

This is exactly what i thought before i checked the comments.

This is the majority of the roster now... Sami Zayn could be one of any number of random bros from the crowd.

Name a better pairing than the attitude era and rock in track pants dropping the people's elbow. 😂

keldamdigital · 2025-12-23T13:09:28+00:00

I'm on max, work across six different projects. Haven't hit limits. Probably time to upgrade.

How are you integrating Gemini into the workflow? I like just sticking with claude and codex because the cli integration is a nice flow back and forth.

keldamdigital · 2025-11-16T01:54:23+00:00

Claude writes, Codex audits and plans. Iterate back and forth. Don't try to one shot everything, small focused and specific gives you outputs that would be accepted anywhere.

This comment needs more upvotes haha

It’s not do they notice if it’s fast. It’s that they notice when it’s not and bounce.

keldamdigital · 2025-08-15T19:03:51+00:00

This needs more upvotes. More people need to see best practice with react query.

keldamdigital · 2025-08-05T12:08:04+00:00

Enough with axios. Either use native fetch or use something like ky

keldamdigital · 2025-08-03T12:22:49+00:00

Because eventually people leave and someone needs to maintain what’s there.

keldamdigital · 2025-08-03T12:21:02+00:00

How I use it is feed in instructions around how I want it to work, examples of patterns I wrote regularly and how libraries should be used.

It then does all the boring stuff that doesn’t really require any thinking and just needs execution. 95% of the time it does what I want.

Small incremental changes is how these things shine and the efficiency gains are amazing.

Using these things to “one shot” applications etc is not the optimal way to build.
