Hello there

  1. This is absolutely FUD.

    Most engineers don't work at FAANG. Most _good_ engineers DONT work at FAANG. FAANG is still composed of almost all good engineers. Most software engineers are NOT _good_.

    All of these things are simultaneously true.

    Most of your junior engineering hires will never develop to FAANG levels, and as such are never in positions to seriously only hypercompete for those FAANG salaries. There vast majority of devs, even in the US, that are perfectly adequate (note, not great, adequate) to act as developers for non-FAANG companies for non-FAANG wages. This is the kind of developer universities are churning out at insane rates.

  2. You could use that same statistic for literally every protest ever, doesn't mean they're not worth the causes
  3. Citations on this?
  4. At least the URL immediately calls out the fact the site is nothing but AI spew.
  5. Imo it's not out of place in context if one is trying to determine if the candidate has an interest in finance.

    Now, I'm not disqualifying them if they dont read the journal. But if they can't demonstrate any proactive interest in finance, or tell me about some happenings/events/stories they personally find interesting (theres a ton of interesting stuff happening) its definitely an amber flag.

  6. I'm not sure I follow. In this instance we're talking about multiple backend matching engines... Correct? By definition they must be kept in sync, or at least have total omnipotent knowledge about the state of all other backend book states.
  7. How to Speedrun devaluing the credentials your institution exists to award.
  8. For your pet project? No. For something you're building for others to use? Almost certainly yes.
  9. Off the cuff, id expect this leads to less improvement than you might think. The vast majority of orders, especially orders arriving in sequence close to one another, are likely on a small set of extremely liquid symbols, and usually all for prices at or near the top of the book for those symbols.

    Happy to discuss more, might be off the mark... these optimizations are always very interesting in their theoretical vs actual perf impact.

  10. Thanks for all the info!

    I'm a front office engineer at a prop firm -- always interesting to get insight into how others do it.

    We have fairly similar parallels, maybe with the exception of throwing new exchange connections to the dedicated networking group.

    Always love watching their incident responses from afar (usually while getting impacted desks to put away the pitchforks). Great examples of crisis management, effectiveness and prioritization under pressure, ... All while being extremely pragmatic about actual vs perceived risk.

    (I'm sure joining KCG in August of 2012 was a wild time...)

  11. Curious what your actual role was -- sounds very interesting! Project manager? Dev? Operations specialist? E.g. were you hired into this role, and what were the requisites?
  12. Obviously you're being facetious, that is not at all what that poster is claiming.

    While I agree that entering a dark alley shouldn't result in ill effects, if ill effects happen in said dark alley it is still worth the discussion to remind people to stay out of dark alleys in today's day and age (or until the root problem, whatever it is, is improved).

    Pretending that it is OK to enter dark alleys and forcing blame elsewhere will continue to have people unwittingly enter dark alleys.

  13. But you see, when these rule were being framed bad actors PLANNED on exploiting the checkerboard to expand their effective control. (Or at least it seems so obvious of an issue that I have to imagine _someone_ was scheming along these lines).
  14. Which venta are you referencing here?
  15. That instantly kills the patient -- "But you asked me to remove his pain"
  16. Just because they're better at writing CS algorithms doesn't mean they're taking steps closer to anything resembling AGI.
  17. I'd say my expectation is papers should be minimal in their effect, and compounding. If your project proves new facts, either they should be clearly enumerable (with as much specificity as possible), or your project/presentation/paper should be broken up to the point your findings ARE enumerable.
  18. The president isnt going to personally enrich himself and his cronies by _divesting_ power from his offce
  19. Apparently popular enough to get him elected. It's not like his supporters were under any pretense who or what they were voting for
  20. But it's not like AI did any of that...
