- Wearables (airpods and watch) gave apple huge profits this quarter.
- Read some resources from jack regarding the founder of ghsmart: https://geoffsmart.com/. A few takeaways:
- Really probe into the future of the department. Get a lay of the land from someone who lives there. Big projects, big changes, big consolidations? You get (1) a better idea of compatibility and future job responsibilities and (2) a better way to cater your responses/skillsets to match. I could be better about this one.
- Prepare yourself. Know yourself. Think about what you want for your future. Have explicit decisions made regarding your own trajectory. This then bleeds into most aspects of the interview process. You have honest answers as gut instincts, rather than canned answers you’ve rehearsed. You come across more confident. You’re able to articulate genuine reflections of yourself and your relationship to the employer’s needs. I value this one, and have spent a lot of time practicing it already.
- Need to have metrics, scorecards. Need to have them as a leader to be objective/accurate. Need to ask about them as a contributor/candidate to be transparent/inspire.
- My master’s degree 10 years ago involved a lot of AI, ML, stochastics, probabilistics, etc, but I haven’t immersed myself deeply in those fields since. These areas are rapidly expanding within the professional world, and I’ll focus some of my free time to keep up to date on such tech in the months to come.

- Interesting thought about misophonia – hearing is the only primary sense you can’t really shut off. If you experience aversion to touch, you can move away. For taste, you can spit it out. For smell, you can plug your nose or breathe through your mouth. For sight, you can close your eyes. For sound, you can plug your ears, but it’s much less effective and isn’t practical like the other options.

- 2NF: all the other columns depend on the prim key.
- 3NF: all other columns depend on the prim key directly, not transitively.
