I ask Claude to implement non-regression tests. It works like magic. With a couple of modules checking for code quality, more magic. Add some online performance tests if relevant, …

Hands down the best post in years... Tears, tears...

Any serious (retail or not) investor must read 'Consequences of fat tails' by Nassim Taleb. Period.

I have a CS degree and pursued a marketing MBA. To make it short: i) a great product with basic marketing trumps a bad product with "fantastic marketing" on the long ii) the produc…

Many times over, I have been working in companies where they had no other option but to call back coders from retirement to ensure migration and operational activities. There are p…

I am was on a mission in south-west France at that time and the local pharmacist told me around February she was convinced Covid was there since November 2019... She saw some of he…
