Worked in HFT and we had a “SpergBoard” - new hires were encouraged but not required to undertake an ASD diagnostic exam and put their score on the leaderboard.

The heavyweights at the firm all scored in the “definitely see a clinician” range.

My personal opinion of it was the “pretty boys” were in it for the dough and the prestige and not the love of the game. Personally, I joined for wanting to work and hone my skills. I could see it being a viable recruiting strategy.

Weird seeing MIDAS referenced on HN. Always seemed like a minor thing from the inside at Thesys.

Also, don’t forgot the notorious CAT project.
