Fun fact: The surname Pannekoek (pancake) is correctly spelled without the n you find in the nickname pannenkoek2012 which is also correctly spelled. The Dutch rules of spelling changed: if a word is the concatenation of two words of which

I think your claim is wildly optimistic. According to Google, Level 6 is about 1900. That requires more than some simple rule following for most chess players. I don’t have any statistics handy but the folks that cross 1900 are in the minor

It's just how the site works, not a mistake by OP. If you go to the Afghanistan article and click to the link to the article you'll get the link that was posted to HN. I'm not sure why the previous page is tracked like this b

In my (limited) experience there is definitely a bonus for being the very best but I also believe the London Quant job market is big enough to get a decent quant job without being IMO material.

That I definitely agree with but if I understand you correctly you're quite miserable now so an alternative looks relatively attractive. Can you try to get into the hiring committee at your current employer? You'll get some free p

I think you give yourself too little credit. You graduated with a PhD in CS, you must be well above average.

I think the ending was somewhat underwhelming but I sure had fun tinkering with C++. I know of a competition putting where students against each other. Competing with others seems more fun.
