> Your attitude is incredibly rude and dismissive.
My attitude is to point out the mistakes of succumbing to fanboyism and blindly going with cargo cult beliefs that make no sense and have no bearing in reality. Complaining that pointing out the fact that the high frequency trading sector is built upon C++ is dismissive says more about your personal beliefs than anything else.
> We do incredible volume and felt this was a risk to our customers.
I really doubt you do more transactions per second than any high frequency trading company running a C++ stack. The likes of Optiver are doing just fine with C++.
Just be honest and humble and state that your expertise lies elsewhere, and your choice had zero to do with technical reasons.
- echelon 4y agoA billion dollars a day in gross processing volume. You're just rude and keep doubling down with your arrogance, throwing around words like "blind" when we ran disciplined SPADE processes across senior engineering. I'm done with this conversation.
