We are committed to staying here for the long term. I think it is a matter of perspective and what one wants to prioritize. From a cost perspective, I think the cost of raising 2-k…

Same. We live in Manhattan with two kids and owning a car is just an added expense without much benefit. To be fair, if you lived further out in Brooklyn (Bayridge, Sussex Beach an…

I think if you have young kids and in the 40s where the need for healthcare appointments go up there might be a demand for this product.

This looks super interesting. I’m interested in the professional services position but definitely can’t relocate to Vienna at this time. Is that absolutely required?

My advice. Attend tech meetups and networking events that quants frequent. Socialize with them, and try to get them to refer your resume for open positions. Side projects and contr…

My activity on Reddit has gone way down since they stopped supporting .compact view on mobile. I definitely miss it and want to go back but it’s incredibly hard to engage with the …

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea that Professor Remzi and his wife Andrea wrote a book on Operating Systems. I loved his class (took it almost 22 years ago.) Will have to che…

Indeed. Thanks to snow day here in NYC, my first grader has remote learning and all academic activity (reading, writing and math) was restricted to 20 minutes in her learning plan.…

We’re in the same boat. We live in an apartment building in a neighborhood we love. Recently, a larger apartment in our building came onto the market. The seller is desperate to of…

I’d worry way less about what other people thought of me and focused instead on quieting down the insecure voice in my own head. I might not be anymore successful financially or po…

Yeah I just watched the keynote on Amazon’s Q product. I’m going to tinker with that in the coming days. Pretty excited about the Google drive/docs integration since we have a lot …

That’s fair but I’m mostly building prototypes with the API intended for exploring the space so I’m not too worried about productionizing these yet. I was curious if there’s anothe…

What alternatives are you currently looking at? I’ve just begun scratching the surface of Generative AI but I’ve found the OpenAI ecosystem and stack to be quite excellent at helpi…

Do you have a list of companies where employees code for a paycheck? Is it broadly, any company where technology is the main driver of revenue. I imagine coding for lifestyle value…

That makes a lot of sense. As a lapsed programmer myself, I found the Scratch interface was not very intuitive.

Thank you. Scratch Jr looks interesting and is probably a better introduction for my 6 year old.

I’ve been tempted to teach my daughter programming with scratch. At what age did you introduce your daughter to Scratch and programming? Where there any helpful/fun guides you or s…

Growing up in India, movies always had an intermission. They even used to cut Hollywood movies at 45 minutes. I always looked forward to the break because it was one of the rare oc…

Could you recommend a good introduction to NLP book?

The memory I have of that day is similar. I had an early morning class and work in the afternoon. When we left the early morning class, a friend got a call from his parent asking i…

I’ve been living in the US for 21 years and whenever I experience this I assume it is racism and/or prejudice. I cannot confront them so I have no way of knowing their exact reason…

I’m curious. What’s your company? I work in software consulting and often find that our enterprise clients are unwilling to hire product managers.
