Typical failed web projects:
Start with SQLite.
Switch to PostgreSQL due to premature optimization.
Then return to SQLite years later for cost-cutting.
TLDR: Get 1000+ users first before thinking about PostgreSQL.

If you took a nap in your office in a big company, it would seem unprofessional.

The reason for RTO is that if you can't make people work.

In theory.

If you are thinking about applying reinforcement learning to stock markets. DON’T
1) You are gonna reinvent the wheel 10000s of PHDs at Quant shops have already explored and discarded.
2) Markets are too random and actions have zero impact on its behaviour
3) See above 👆

Me trying to solve Python Circular Imports, while
- keeping code modular
- keeping models true to real world
- avoiding boilerplate interfacing every conflict
- staying DRY whenever possible
Should I switch to Java/C# because of this? 🤪
