On August 18, key historical events include the incorporation of Hewlett-Packard in 1947, the discovery of Martian Moon Phobos in 1877, and Microsoft’s release of QuickBASIC in 1985. Current tech topics include an experiment testing if ChatGPT can outperform the market with a micro-cap portfolio. Additionally, programming best practices emphasize avoiding methods that return Object, Any, or null, promoting more specific and polymorphic coding. Writing is recognized for its role in consolidating technical knowledge, establishing credibility, and contributing to community standards.
On this day, Hewlett-Packard was incorporated in 1947, Martian Moon Phobos was discovered in 1877, and Microsoft released the first version of QuickBASIC in 1985.
A six month experiment is underway to see whether ChatGPT could beat the market with a micro-cap portfolio, showcasing the intersection of technology and finance.
Methods in programming should avoid returning Object, Any, or null. Instead, focus on making them fully polymorphic for cleaner code.
Writing helps consolidate technical knowledge and establish credibility, contributing to emerging community standards.
