We often glorify greatness and demonize mediocrity. But what if mediocrity isn’t the enemy of excellence? I explore what Michael Jordan, Warren Buffett, and Howard Marks can teach us about the quiet, unglamorous path to mastery. #investing #Engineering open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

Warren Buffett not only learned how to separate signal from noise but also to stay rational when everyone else was ruled by emotion. That same challenge exists in software engineering. #Software #Engineering #investing #AI #artificial_intelligence open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

AI evangelists don't understand software engineering. In my latest article, I explore what happens when companies treat AI as a way to eliminate junior roles and automate the “grunt work.” #software #engineering #investing #WarrenBuffett open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

There’s no such thing as “A players.” Talent doesn’t compound. Obsession and consistency do. Obsession is the spark. Consistency is the engine. That’s how mastery is built. #software #engineering #investing #WarrenBuffett #mambamentality open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

Software engineers must weigh the risks, trade-offs, and costs that affect speed, maintainability, and flexibility. I discuss what engineers can learn from #warrenbuffett when he was deciding to sell his stake in GEICO. #software #engineering #investing open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

When shortcuts go wrong, the results can be catastrophic. I just published a piece exploring how Warren Buffett’s bet on American Express during the Salad Oil Scandal offers lessons for software engineers. #software #engineering #investing #Buffett open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

Premature optimization feels thrilling in the short term, but could be costly over the long run. In my latest piece, I explore how lessons from Warren Buffett apply to these kinds of risks and costs. #software #engineering #investing open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

Buffett and Munger built Berkshire Hathaway on patience and discipline. The same is true in engineering, where short-term hacks may feel rewarding but create technical debt that drains future returns. #software #engineering #investing open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

The best engineers aren’t the ones constantly putting out fires but the ones who prevent them in the first place. In this new piece, I explore how lessons from Munger can help engineers design systems that are durable, resilient, and compound value. open.substack.com/pub/imranchara…

It's difficult to get rich on a salary, because you get paid linearly for analyzing and solving a given problem in a job. But you get paid exponentially for spotting and seizing opportunities as an investor, venture capitalist, or entrepreneur.
