I’ve always been passionate about finance. I used to be a regulated person— an executive director at a firm that created derivative products. Since moving on from that world, I still get the occasional urge to check macroeconomic data and dig into market dynamics.

A few weeks ago, I decided to analyze Polymarket. I wanted to spot insider trading, whale activity, derive volatility — the kind of stuff only a finance nerd would care about.

Maybe just me, but that screamed “finance bro” to me. “Since moving on from that world.”

The inexperience in professional programming is indicated by the entire article. There’s a huge difference between a hobbyist who starts at 11 and a professional developer. Real professional developers don’t start with “I started when I was 11.” I started when I was 15, 20 years before the author did. Who cares?

His LinkedIn shows little experience in professional development. Just a bunch of “CTO” positions.

He dropped out of university in 2018 after eight years.

I’ve also never heard anyone experienced say “I checked the code. It’s good.” Because it’s embarrassing. And he put it in writing. “LGTM 👍” Insightful.

I started walking 33 years ago, I am by no mean an expert in walking.
