bonus: 1.Ability to add Rooftop Solar with decent MWH generation 2.Additonal underground water source

Not difficult at all. Most quant dev position require you to be decent at coding in either python/JavaScript or C#. If they see you have that capability, you can land an interview at least. They do require coming into office though.

Re:Ask HN: Onboarded and overwhelmed by new code base on Tuesday January 02, 2024 @04:56PM (#38847625)

Get your dev space up and running and play around with stuff you read in available docs.
