GS has 34k employees. Thousands of traders and probably >10k in IT. 18 people isn't really a revolution. Devs still are second class citizens in banks - the highest earning ones switched to become traders and just do some python/R/VBA on the desk. There are a few hedge funds (Millennium, Two Sigma) where devs are nearly treated as well as traders - would be interested to hear of any place else.

Software engineers are treated very well, if not as well as research scientists, at essentially any large or successful quantitative hedge fund. This includes firms like DRW, Optiver, Tower Research, Two Sigma, RenTec, Citadel, etc.
