been seeing lots of optimization lingo on the TL lately and it's been making me happy

there's little you could do to improve your life with as high a payoff ratio as learning a little of this math

every single decision in your life is a multidimensional optimization problem

the domain of optimization, broadly, entails "finding the most efficient way to satisfy all your constraints"

there's room for improvement in domain modeling, dimensional analysis, optimization strategy, etc. many ways to get better at solving problems!

all you gotta do is try

while there's typically no need to get super rigorous & actually quantify everything, framing your problem using these concepts can really help you make sense of it

mathematics is a collection of magical artifacts we can wield with our minds to gain power

if you’ve ever read ancient philosophy texts, like the bible or plato’s dialogues, one thing you will notice (or should notice) is that the way they present ideas is …

the concepts in this arsenal come in useful in a variety of situations

feeling stuck in a bad place, but all your options are worse? that's a local maxima! and we have algos to get out of one

have too many options and don't know how to pick? time for some domain modeling!
