Boston takes the best remaining free agent (by DARKO DPM) off the board

Tweets by Bo Austin in my experience the problem with younger tech guys is really not what they don't know. they are very smart. they are however constitutionally incapable of knowing what they don't know. depending on the project, this makes them extremely risky hires the absolute smartest people I know know a lot, but more notable is that they are constantly moving things from the don't know they don't know category into the realm of things they know they don't know. the problem is that that's an attitude to develop and not a skill to learn. there might after all be a connection between — to use the idiotic terms — EQ and IQ. I've discovered there certainly is at an elite level at least

Caught this in @maxread.info’s latest and this is such a good articulation of the difference between early 20s ambitious young people and folks who have a bit of experience (including failure).

“It’s an attitude, not a skill” is it in a nutshell.

the only thing preventing me from making the full time switch to #Positron is the lack of a Re-Run Previous Section shortcut. Might be my most used shortcut in RStudio

ICYMI: I wrote about the bleak recent history of restricted free agency

thef5.substack.com/p/a-bleak-re...

was fun looking back at the recent history of RFAs and the offer sheets they received. how different their careers could have been if their home team had/hadn't matched

this week on The F5:

- A bleak recent history of restricted free agency

What does summer league tell us about a rookie's regular season? More than you think...

5.9 ... great shooting numbers, just gotta get those turnovers under control

i havent sold all of my bones stock...

Day 2 Standouts...more like Day Too Good For Summer League

this is from something back in 2021, but the summer league stats that are most correlated with a rookies performance in the NBA tend to be related to play style (threes, o. rebounds, blocks) rather than production/efficiency
