Mini stocks were traditionally used as way to invest in asset as a security. But currently with all the ETFs that are backed with physical asset itself, I'd choose that way.

Holding asset yourself (gold) causes logistical issues and massive buy/sell split on your side, but it has some advantages too.

Assets traditionally used for such hedge are already massively inflated (look gold an silver price charts), so I'm not sure it's worth it.

This all depends on what timelines you work on, how many assets you are trying to protect.

Alternatively you protect yourself by lowering your dependence on steady income.

I used langchain in one project and I do regret choosing it over just writing everything over direct API. I feel their pain.

It had advantage of having standardized API, so I could switch local LLM to OpenAI and just compare results in a heartbeat, but when I wanted anything out of ordinary (ie. get logprobs), there was just no way.

20 year experience with software development. Experience with various systems development (configurable workflow system, logistics system, printing/voting tracking system, internal tools etc.). Past few months I worked on RAG system (Python, FastAPI, local LLMs, vector databases).

Experience in international teams (worked for companies in Switzerland, USA).

Looking for IC position.

By now, making UI with (by now not completely) SPA frameworks specifically made for that task is just better developer experience. I won't go back to pretty much html string concation via templates. Why do people keep pretending it's better in any way is lost on me.

I made universal CLI project where adding new function as is simple as adding new class with arguments parsed into an object.

It has 49 actions now even when I keep removing obsolete ones.

I also made PDF viewer for comparison of 2 documents - synchronized zoom and scroll, even overlay.

Plus I could easily represent UUID in base64, such as JlEt5BSYe0enwB7nxl5V6g, which makes it shorter if I need that.
