After four years as a Quant in Goldman Sachs, I left this month. In that time, I worked on 3 different desks across Fixed Income & Equities and completed about 20 to 30 different projects. Here are the 9 non-glamorous things you should know about working as a sell-side Quant.

Thank you to @CNBCTechCheck for having me on! I realize that "cryptocurrency is a gambling token and pyramid scheme" is a simplistic argument, but... pyramid schemes are not that complicated, and I think it's useful to say it on TV for all those intimidated by blockchain woo

Yesterday I gave a talk on TLA+. Afterwards, someone asked "if I wanted to learn formal methods, what math should I learn?" My answer: predicate logic, end of. Not only is it critical for formal methods, it's incredibly useful in day-to-day programming!

My feelings on technical interviews in general can be found here: honeycomb.io/blog/observati… Whether you should apply an ( identical | slightly modified | dramatically different ) version of the technical portion to engineering *managers* ... will be the topic of my next blog post.

@TheLeadDev @mipsytipsy Do you have an opinion on technical interviews (whiteboarding) for eng managers? Im a fan of your thoughts on eng, leadership and management, they've helped me a LOT

So a thread I've been "meaning to write" for the past few years but somehow always found an excuse to avoid. No more! My entire career (and life, really) have been shaped by ADHD. The key was finally emphasizing for things I'm good at, while avoiding the things that I'm bad at.

So there's a lot of confusion about what Parler being kicked off of Amazon Web Services (@awscloud) means. Let me do a quick thread to explain it to folks who aren't deep in the technical weeds...

I would appreciate if computer scientists could use this quarantine period to design several new programming languages with different and incompatible feature sets, and that differ from popular languages in minor semantic ways that are totally pointless but aggravating too.
