Second this. Also don’t confuse your objective with your constraints.

#1 ingredient for a successful job hunt: Job Market Objective Function. Without your own objective function, it’s scarily easy to accidentally adopt someone else’s goals. Clearly, maximizing someone else’s goals means you’re unlikely to reach your true optimal outcome.

No one will use this because there aren't good ways to decide which objective function to use, no way to account for uncertainty in the weights, the methods are mostly already available and still underused, and CVXR is memory intensive even for small problems.

Working on an R package no one asked for that one is going to use. Why? I just think it's neat
