Not surprised at all. I know a lot of people that upload sensitive docs to format conversion free sites (like jpg to pdf converter, joining pdfs etc).

Merry Christmas from San Francisco.

I found these podcasts on 1-1s interesting https://www.manager-tools.com/manager-tools-basics

Wow, so sad. Like Jobs, he dying young is a loss to humanity.

"ByteDance’s top earners make more than $1 million a year plus stock options, with total compensation sometimes exceeding $3 million. " I bet top earners at Google, Facebook etc ma…

It's great you were able to find a solution! Best wishes.

Getting up early.

Not a course, but I've enjoyed SE radio podcasts.

I've liked bogleheads forum. The usual advice would be to maxmimize 401(k), ROTH IRA and invest in index funds.

What is a typical path from dev->trader? Should one join a hedge fund as a programmer and then step up the ladder?

I'd rather be trading on someone else's money :) My question is about how to get foot into the door as a trader.

It's interesting how Google got it mixed up as well. All the news stories for the stock are for the 'real' Twitter.

Probably the easier startup lottery these days could be join a startup that is rumored to be an IPO. I'm not sure if software engineers get to make millions, but even 500K to 1M ve…
