Dei programs will be cut. Meritocracy will return

It's a good win

Friend tried to get Gig there. 25+ years experience in finance it.

Was interviewed by an Indian guy who wanted to know 'how can you connect your debugger to a server in production', like it is something an investment bank would do. Not about low latency, investment products, exchange connectivity, etc

Hopefully both are implemented.

Reddit is just wall to wall propaganda, with anyone disagreeing with 'the message' being shadowbanned.

Lately the calls for violence have gone through the roof.
