In my conversation with @bgurley he talked about this too. He called it bedrock. When he first learned investing, he read 'Peter Lynch, One Up on Wall Street. A Random Walk Down Wall Street. All the Buffett letters, Ben Graham, and Howard Marks.' "In order to be great, you want to learn all the bedrock principles you possibly can but then, once you know those have the independence of thought and the confidence to innovate on top of those principles." Studying the history and knowing the pioneers is the closest thing to a cheat code you're gonna get. Quoting @TKPPodcast "We have the only industry in computing that doesn't even know its heroes... no one knows Alan Kay and Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson. This matters, I think, because we discard great lessons and have to rediscover them over and over again." Related

The more you mess with it, the muddier it becomes. Many of the problems I dream up when I'm overthinking or worrying or ruminating fall into this category.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they

this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
