Re:Checklists are hard (but still a good thing) on Thursday July 24, 2025 @05:20AM (#44668685)
I use checklist as a pilot, but trying to introduce the same habit to software engineers are hard.

The cost of reversing a decision is cheaper in software, than to say flying or doing hardware. Plus the spec requirements for flying and hardware design rarely changes as often as software.

Still swear by checklists and SOPs but have to be at peace that others don't see it the same way.

I think I've heard about the different signaling mechanisms. Those are easily exploitable so good to not reveal.

I'm actually gauging interests. Crowding for immediate return -> Lowering return eventually. Case in point the OG geeks in the valley or quant funds doing those for hobby vs now people go straight to career. Same as Bitcoin was dope in 2012 and lame in 2020. New comers get in mostly for greed not passion.

But feels like LP are holding their $$$ for the fed rate to stabilize a bit.
