Summary
An entertaining and easy-to-listen audiobook about a practical blueprint to simplify Canada's horribly frustratingly overly complicated tax system. The author shares his frustration with a wildly inefficient, impossibly complex, and heartlessly impersonal bureaucracy that routinely ensares honest, hard-working people in its labyrinthine maze. The Grumpy Accountant tells the story of Jerry, a typical Canadian, and George, his trusted grumpy accountant, who guides him through the tax system at every stage in life.
The Grumpy Accountant includes 29 critical tax tips to dramatically save you time, money, and hassle, including:
- How to avoid common mistakes that invite CRA scrutiny
- How to maximize the tax credits, deductions, and benefits that you're entitled to
- Tax saving strategies for every stage in life: College/university, employment/self-employment, marriage, kids, entrepreneurship, and retirement
- How to use online tools to keep organized and stay ahead of the game

Machine learning systems are both complex and unique. Complex because they consist of many different components and involve many different stakeholders. Unique because they're data dependent, with data varying wildly from one use case to the next. In this book, you'll learn a holistic approach to designing ML systems that are reliable, scalable, maintainable, and adaptive to changing environments and business requirements. Author Chip Huyen, cofounder of Claypot AI, considers each design decision in the context of how it can help your system as a whole achieve its objectives.
