Back at you? You've never worked in finance or you are a shill. Bye, bye. Good Luck.

Probably mis-represented myself. For my sins 30 odd years of MS stack. Doing exactly the money market stuff you're talking about (50bn$ PnL system on last job). I know you know, but how many people understand the transaction isolation model in SQL server (or how to write your own transaction compensator?). Wtf when a supposed DB admin won't allow MARS. Deeper knowledge, deeper understanding. You can't argue - I kinda Know this is you.

I agree. No two systems are comparable. Must be very confusing for the people ramping up. A solution fits the problem, not the other way around. Keep it simple stupid. KISS

This lives on the assumption (one I often see repeated) that everyone is writing code to the same requirements and implementation details as you. If I'm in a washing machine I;m in total control (or bloody well should be).

These are the public versions, I promise it's much worse; A little light reading for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Rich , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glencore , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafigura . Claude died.

If you don't own the keys.... :( Condolences mate. Stick a couple of hundred in bitcoin and a hardware wallet. Sit on it for 10 years and pay them back.

And the Silicon Valley ref was about how they get away with it.

Apologies, I'll try again. At both ends of the human spectrum you have people who are so basic human life means nothing to them. In both respects these people want power over others. I suggest the least intelligent are the serial killer types but the most dangerous are the rich and powerful. Wiki commodities brokers.

Downvotes? At least explain.

Animals on both ends of the bell curve. Serial Killer avg. 10 deaths? Last billionaire I met killed 17 and poisoned 30,000. Silicon Valley is essential viewing at the moment on that subject.

Chocolate ashtray mate.

Does it hurt when your in bed? Before starting any exercise like so many are recommending, it might be a good idea to get an ultra-sound on your shoulders - sounds a bit like a torn rotator cuff from experience.

Boss asks 'When?', I say 'You can have it now or in 3 days when it works'. Boss decides NOW to hit his deadline. Not allowed to book any more time to it. Slagged of un-mercifully in testing. Thanks Boss. £50Bn business is run this way.

Not a threat in any near future and if it was the global banking system would also be vulnerable. Almost as bad as the SDK article on Bloomberg.

Back in 1988 I wrote a holiday/sick calendar app with basic reporting. The first thing management in EVERY department did was predict the sick days. I found that out 5 years after I had left.

In the true DA tradition I recommend the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy trilogy - Read the fourth one.

Well that was nearly coherent.

Great idea chap but a word of caution - don't spend any money advertising in the UK. The weather here is generally hot, sunny, raining - mild chance of thunderstorm, hail and snow with a 50% chance of wind. Good luck.

Which leaves the question; What external support does she have? Internal politics suggest she has no real power and is at risk of government sponsored 'suicide' if she steps out of line. I think she's both a survivor and someone who, maybe just might, have the power to do something good in the future. We are just watchers. P.S. Hope I'm right for gods sake once.

Be yourself not who you think they want you to be.

UK here. Already done.

Woz ur the man.
