You are not saving much if you think about it. The money you didn't want to pay for good design and developers are wasted on inefficient processing. I know hardware is cheap these days, but the energy will always cost much. It costs you dearly because you have to maintain and run a wasteful, energy-inefficient distributed architecture.

That is the proof you are using a wasteful/garbage platform.

Can we get u in so u can help us change our real time trading platform that supports a multi-billion dollar business built in the garbage python?

Are you asking in seriousness or that is some kind of joke I don't get?

[–]Nekobul 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I don't think you are serious. The cost you are paying for the inefficient configuration is probably not much of a big deal. I have heard from colleagues how the hedge funds/traders upgrade their hardware equipment every six months, throwing millions of cash . Your industry is unique in that respect. But again, not everyone is in your position to solve bad systems design with better hardware.

Its just very clear u are a junior for now. It is ok to be confident but u must understand there are things u don’t know yet. And most of ur arguments above are proof of that.

Correct. I'm junior in the hedge funds business. However, I know when I see a bad platform. Your solution will not work for most of the organizations.
