  • Why You Shouldn’t Judge by PnL Alone

    I’ve spent years building and evaluating systematic strategies across highly adversarial markets. When you iterate on a trading system, PnL is the goal but a terrible day-to-day signal. It’s too noisy, too path-dependent, and too easy to cherry-pick. A simple framework—form a hypothesis, measure a test statistic, translate it into a probability under a “no-effect” world (the p-value)—helps you avoid false wins, iterate faster, and ship changes that actually stick. Below I’ll show a concrete example where two strategies look very different in cumulative PnL charts, yet standard tests say there’s no meaningful difference in their average per-trade outcome. I’ll also demystify the t-test in plain language: difference of means, scaled by uncertainty.

  • Why You Should (Almost) Always Choose Sync Gunicorn Workers

    This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/why-you-should-almost-always-choose-sync-gunicorn-over-workers-ze9c32wj.


    Anyone working on a WSGI web application frameworks like Flask would know that as a best practice it is very important to use a WSGI HTTP Server like Gunicorn to deploy the app outside your development servers.

    Gunicorn is a widely popular WSGI Server and its popularity is because it is lightweight, fast, simple yet can support most of the requirements you would have to host an app on production. The default worker type is Sync and I will be arguing for it. Async workers like Gevent create new greenlets (lightweight pseudo threads) Every time a new request comes they are handled by greenlets spawned by the worker threads. At the same time, the resources needed to serve the requests will be less.

  • Beyond the Ten Blue Links: How Generative AI Rewires Our Brains for Search

    Generative AI isn't just a new feature in search; it's a fundamental psychological shift. By providing direct, synthesized answers, it caters to our brain's deep-seated desire to reduce cognitive load and trust authoritative narratives. This "great untraining" is rendering the classic marketing playbook obsolete. For businesses, developers, and marketers, the battle is no longer for clicks on blue links, but for becoming a trusted, citable source inside the AI's "brain." The age of persuasion is ending; the age of becoming a machine-readable source of truth has begun.
