As opposed to no-one having access, a restricted access is a much better idea. I was not aware that HFT algorithms are that 'personal', now that article makes even less sense! What seems extremely blasphemous is that this person outrightly denies the importance of creativity and innovation that goes into Product designing at (pardon my ignorance, and bias for real tech firms), say, Google. What I do get from the port is this: HFT people are extremely smart - extremely closed circle. They know algorithms and optimization. Speed is of utmost importance. They know more ways to optimize than I will ever know (Actually I don't even need to. I can very well work on something more significant). And they earn a lot (Well I will earn enough for my satisfaction, so I don't give a flying SegFault).
