The Tell-All Backstory Index: "From Zero to Quant in 6 Months (And 3 Deleted Codebases)"
I think every coder can empathize with the following:
Chapter Titles:
Chapter 1: "The Day I Tried to pip install time"
In which our hero discovers the standard library
Chapter 2: "rm -rf: A Love Story"
Three times is not a charm, but four might be
Chapter 3: "The Triple-Quote Incident (Hour 1-27)"
How one """ can cost you a day of your life
Chapter 4: "Git? What's Git?"
Building a 3,000-line app with Ctrl+Z as version control
Chapter 5: "The HuggingFace Massacre"
RIP first repo (2024-2024), you will not be missed
Chapter 6: "When Your Desktop Goes On Strike"
Labor relations with an AMD A6-7480
Chapter 7: "Grandpa Lenovo and the Broken Keyboard Chronicles"
Featuring: Pixel 3XL as emergency input device
Chapter 8: "The 30% That Mattered"
Or: How I learned how to tell AI what I DIDN’T want
Chapter 9: "Shipping Despite Everything"
AKA: How to succeed by sheer stubbornness
Epilogue: "The Elton John Leverage Blues"
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time...

What's Actually Here:
• Full Bayesian MCMC sampling (PyMC/Stan integration)
• GJR-GARCH volatility modeling with leverage effects
• Monte Carlo simulation engine with stress testing
• Portfolio backtesting with configurable rebalancing
• Advanced correlation analysis and risk decomposition
• Kelly Criterion position sizing with dynamic adjustments
• Comprehensive error recovery and state validation
• Persistence layer ("Time Machine") for analysis restoration
• Privacy-centric design with session cleanup
The Architecture is Legit:
• Defensive programming with error boundaries everywhere
• Session state validation and corruption recovery
• Graceful degradation when modules fail
• Nuclear flush + selective reset options
• Smart caching to avoid redundant computation
• File operations with proper error handling
Submitted FYI.
