Brilliant and spot on. Everything here applies to the only Roth novel I read, Everyman.

That's awesome. I read a lot to my kids but it's always been tricky/hard to do graphic novels/comics.

I'm curious for other immigrants with kids, how difficult is it to break from the more deterministic "study hardest for success" vs relaxing a bit to optimize for happiness and embracing the impact of luck.

I'm another bantu on Hacker News but living in the US. The migration continues...

If you don't mind my asking - what community do you participate in to mitigate the scatter brain effects of being INTP?

Good to hear that even if it's tiny, there is a small contingent who agrees. I took a portion of my savings in order to invest and have outperformed the index funds and basic allocations in my 401k and retirement accounts. I don't have a long enough track record (3 years thus far) to assume it can continue but my overall returns have consistently beaten SPY/DJI.

My sense is that investing is a skill and that you have to practice in order to get better. I've enjoyed the books of Thomas Bulkowski (http://thepatternsite.com/mybooks.html) and had fun doing it. Because it's not my primary retirement or savings it is less pressure and I try to minimize the gambling aspect instead relying on something more mechanistic.

With that said the current bull market keeps me humble; right now it's easy but if things take a turn I will try to be honest with myself and, if necessary, reallocate everything in index funds.

Every developer who has benefited from Chocolatey should show some love for this project. And that is a TON of people.
