  Success in cultural and professional fields is driven more by chance and path dependence than by talent.

  much cultural success is stochastic (the experimental evidence suggests that talent only moderately predicts success in culture markets), and that path dependence shapes chances of success

  You can be contrarian and usually right by finding and resolving conflicts between the consensus results of different fields

  Their words

  If you learn key consensus results from many different fields, you will often find that they are in conflict, in ways one or both fields are unaware.

  Other engineering fields compile deep reference books about their materials and software has nothing of the kind, not even a five-hundred-page book on how to version an API.

  Their words

  And that kind of compiling of information about the materials is something other fields do that we don't do. An analogy that I would think of in software would be something like a 500-page book on how to version an API.

  Most mathematics will never be useful to a developer; what pays is knowing what mathematics exists so you can find the part that is.

  Their words

  But I think it is more useful for most developers to have an exposure to like what math has in the various fields versus just going all in every single field when they see them, right? You've got to know what's available to know what's most useful for you. And most math will not be useful for you.

  Software iterates better than every other engineering field and plans worse than all of them.

  Their words

  while we are a lot better at iterating than other fields, we're worse at the planning part. Like we still need to do some kind of planning before we iterate and we just aren't as good as those other fields.

  Most of the useful mathematics AI produces over the next five years will be filling in connections that only somebody expert in several fields could draw.

  Their words

  but that's my guess on what most of the useful progress uh from these models will look like like in the next five years is just really filling in that landscape of like connections that you can draw if you're an expert in multiple fields.

  Their words

  I'm much more comfortable with the fox paradigm. Yeah. So yeah, I like looking for analogies, narratives. I spend a lot of time… If there's a result, I see it in one field, and I like the result, it's a cool result, but I don't like the proof, it uses types of mathematics that I'm not super familiar with, I often try to re-prove it myself using the tools that I favor.
