"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently."Warren Buffett
"it’s a better use of your time to be wrong or controversial than it is to be vague. If you’re wrong, people will tell you and you’ll learn something, and you can change direction if you need to. If you’re trying out a controversial idea, you can find out early whether your colleagues will pull against your approach. Having disagreements about your design doesn’t mean that you need to change course, but it gives you information you wouldn’t have had otherwise."—The Staff Engineer's Path
"it’s easy for researchers to put off fairness as an afterthought: “Let’s try to get state of the art first and worry about fairness when we get to production.” When it gets to production, it’s too late. If you optimize your models for better accuracy or lower latency, you can show that your models beat state of the art. But there’s no equivalent state of the art for fairness metrics."By Designing Machine Learning Systems
"It’s fine to use a few extra words or even repeat yourself if it means avoiding ambiguity"—The Staff Engineer's Path
"It’s important to pick the right metrics or abstract out lower-level metrics to compute higher-level signals that make better sense for your specific tasks."By Designing Machine Learning Systems
