If so, what was your experience?

I've been operating a Kubernetes cluster for a while now, and I'm quite happy with it. It does what I want. However, the complexity cost is quite high. That's especially true when developers who without much k8s experience need to interact with a local or staging cluster somehow to debug applications. And of course, the YAML and package management is hell despite (and partly because of) the many templating tools out there.

I'm wondering if Nomad could remove some of that complexity or whether it's still early stage and a production setup is just as complex. I'm also wondering how easy it is to deploy common applications (Postgres, Traefik, Prometheus, etc) on Nomad - easy Helm installations are a big selling point of k8s.

As someone who has briefly worked in HFT, I am curious why so few people coming from am software development (and especially AI/ML) background seem to be interested in trading. I found it to be a really interesting and intellectually challenging problem.

Recent ML techniques are being applied to a lot of fields, but I rarely come across someone working on trading. When I compare beating pros in Starcraft or Dota 2 from Deepmind/OpenAI to the complexity you are dealing with in trading, I think there some relatively long-hanging fruit to be picked up in the latter, all while working on an interesting real-world problem.

Is it because there is a cultural gap? Do developers believe finance is bad and want to "make the world a better place" instead? Any other reasons?

I just got an email from someone looking for a female CEO. I'm not female, so I don't understand why I got contacted in the first place, but it made me really curious:

What is the reason that someone would specifically be looking for a female CEO? Is this normal in the US? Isn't this the same as someone looking for an [insert race here] CEO? It this even legal?

I'm sorry if this questions comes off as offensive or naive, I know it's a sensitive topic in the US, but I truly don't understand.

Ever since quitting my job I'm having a hard time managing my time, or rather, life. I am not talking about keeping track of specific tasks, using a TODO list, doing pomodoros, or staying motivated. I kind of know how to do these things if I have something specific I'm working on.

Rather, I am having problems with what I would call "one level up" from task/time management - How do I decide what projects and habits to spend my time on? There are dozens of sideprojects in my backlog, hundreds of books I want to read, and hundreds of things I want to learn about, all sitting in a couple of text files. Then of course there are personal/health related activities, places I want to travel to, news I want to keep up with, etc.

How do you decide what to work on? How do split up your projects across days and weeks? What tools do you use to schedule them? How do you track progress?

Of course I've looked at various apps to help me with this, but most tools fall into the TODO list or habit building category, which isn't really what I'm looking for.
