Go fast Be right a lot Show your work Trust your stakeholders Dig deeper than asked Bias towards action Memorize as many metrics as possible Communicate early and often Find issues others cant
That feeling when you finally get that piece of code to run that you have spent hours or even days working on.

When is it time to deploy an ML model? Thresholding error on held-out data is a start, but not enough. The next step is writing "ML unit tests" to check performance on sub-slices. We're entering the era of test-driven ML development: mlinproduction.com/testing-m…

At my first software engineering internship, my mentor gave a stand up update that I still think about: (paraphrase) "I'm not sure what to name this new service, which makes me think I don't understand it well enough".

Treat your tech stack, skills, and career as an investment portfolio There are options that are safe and provide a foundation, things that look good but aren't, and things that are high risk, wild ass guesses. You need to distribute time/risk accordingly

We need the zealots, man. Even when they're fully immersed in whatever idea they are pushing, they are creating excitement and buzz that gets others experimenting. What we need more of is people preaching how to maintain a balance between experimental tech and business value.
