When I was working north of DC there were people commuting from West Virginia (couldn't sell their houses to relocate), so 2.5+ hours each way so that's about 32 work-weeks of lost time. And they would come in by 7am to leave at 3

also worth noting is Buck, which is a clone of Bazel. Not only does it support Rust, interestingly it seems the next version seems to be moving toward using Rust as the language of choice for developing it [1] [1] https://develo

Highly recommend Flash Boys by Michael Lewis (author of The Big Short which was also a great film adaptation). It follows the trail of High Frequency Trading to uncover how this was used to front load orders and along with other unsavory ta
