ИИ против рынка: кто побеждает в 2026 году?

Если первая часть моего репортажа по конференции алготрейдеров в Москве была об инфраструктуре, то вторая часть будет про искусственный интеллект. ИИ в 2026 году это неполноценная замена трейдера — всего лишь промежуточная стадия. Кто‑то видит в нём помощника в предсказаниях движения рынка, кто‑то маркетинговый баннер для привлечения клиентов частных лиц, а кто‑то просто удобный инструмент автоматизации.

8 часов за ноутбуком: что происходит с мозгом разработчика, если смотреть на это глазами нейрофизиологии

Я решил перестать гадать, почему к вечеру код превращается в тыкву, а мозг — в перегретый сервер. Вместо очередного поста про выгорание я полез в нейрофизиологию, собрал немного собственных данных, поигрался с ЭЭГ-гарнитурой, трекером сна и статистикой коммитов. В этой статье — что реально происходит с вниманием, рабочей памятью и дофаминовой системой разработчика в течение 8 часов за ноутбуком. Будет и биология, и цифры, и немного кода.

Циркадные ритмы против дедлайнов: как я пересобрал график удалённой команды и перестал воевать с биологией

Полгода назад я понял, что мы проигрываем не конкурентам и не техдолгу. Мы проигрываем времени суток. В этой статье — мой практический разбор того, как я замерял хронотипы команды, собирал телеметрию активности, анализировал коммиты и встречи, строил простенькую модель продуктивности и в итоге полностью перестроил рабочий график удалённой команды. Будет немного биологии, немного математики, немного кода и много личных факапов. Читать далее Read more
