Find and pursue something interesting that delights you especially, so you become a kind of temporary expert in some phenomenon that you heard about. It’s the way to save your soul — then you can always say, “Well, at least the other guys don’t know anything about this!”

Here are some RTGS/liquidity/monetary policy impact-related links that I found particularly insightful while researching my post. First this from a 1996 BoE working paper bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/…

Dear Theresa and Jeremy. If you think that your drubbing at the hands of the Liberal Democrats is a sign that the people want you to ‘get on and deliver Brexit’ then I suspect you aren’t really paying attention...

Sometimes the price you pay for learning a thing is having your colleague, in the middle of the explanation, offer you an undergrad astronomy textbook so you can get up to speed. BUT IT'S WORTH IT BECAUSE NOW YOU KNOW THE THING

I hate the way "ops" means "shit work that shouldn't even exist" to so many people. _hate_ it.
operations engineering does not consist of firefighting your shitty software, it is the science of delivering value to users.

I'd only quit if I was required to be on call, and not allowed to address underlying problems calling call outs. If I wanted to work like that, I'd be pure ops...

42 year old me wishes 21 year old me hadn’t been talked into doing a PhD in AI and machine learning. I’d really like to be excited about all the AI/ML work going on at the moment, but all I’m seeing is the same problems/mistakes of 20 years ago, but with more CPU resources.

It sucks when you’ve got a new product idea and your customer research proves that your assumptions were wrong and no one really wants your product.
It sucks way more when you don’t do any research and spend months (or years) building the wrong thing.

It’s only a matter of time until employers realize the Myers-Briggs types are meaningless and then only a matter of a little more time until they’re replaced by Harry Potter houses

One of the more striking examples I've seen of an algorithm solving the wrong problem
ALT Roberto Novoa, a clinical dermatologist at Stanford University in the US, has described a time when he and his colleagues designed an algorithm to recognize skin cancer – only to discover that they’d accidentally designed a ruler detector instead, because the largest tumours had been photographed with rulers next to them for scale.
