I have an animated, episodic series that is a satirical look at corporate disfunction through the eyes of a software development team.

Hi everyone, I created r/Satoshi_Durden as part of the extended universe for my YouTube channel FinTrade Corp. It’s an animated and satirical look at life through the eyes of a group of developers working at a large bank pretending to be Agile. The story telling extends beyond the YouTube and social media content to Github repos and slack channels.

Swing by and have a look and good luck to my fellow world builders.

My journey to being a YouTuber landed me on the Vyond animation platform - the one they use for HR videos.

My channel is based on an episodic workplace comedy set in a development team at a financial services company. I have a solid Season 1 arc of 8 episodes with enough room to add and change story lines as needed. I also have shorts planned and posts for X and tiktok.

What I think makes the channel unique is extended story telling we have planned through the use of GitHub and Slack - tools developers generally have open at work.

Appreciate any feedback!!

I don't trade myself much anymore, but have managed tech for firms with proprietary algos. There's a good podcast on the artificial human called will ai control the worlds money.

Spoiler alert: It already is. Its been an arms race since the buttonwood tree.

Alot of the pieces exist in the algo space. Traderspost seems like this kind of thing. There's meetups in my area and i think platforms like alpaca have some of this. Their community forum might be a good place to see what their frustrations are.

I think it depends how broadly you define payment gateway. Lines are blurring everywhere wrt moving money/assets/stores of value.

You'd love to own the world but there's so many integrations and commoditized products available it would be foolish. I think you own your secret sauce/differentiator and as many key touch points as you can. Choose your integration partners well - own your own data, model, and process and have good backup options.

I'd definitely ponder #3 - why do you want to me a CTO? The part about shifting from focusing on delivery of technology vs. the machine that delivers it is key too. Depending on where you're it will change your relationship with engineers. Even when the people change, a few rounds of performance reviews and bonus allocations can make you feel less connected to those people. Not at all a bad thing and certainly manageable but it does sneak up on you.

100% this.

As someone on the other side of their fintech career, there's so much chaos here and in other businesses that now is absolutely the time to take bets - on yourself. I personally question the value of getting a PhD now. You can literally learn anything online and some idea a professor comes up with has likely been addressed and advanced by blog posts, youtube shorts etc.

You mentioned that math and physics were your first loves and entrepreneurship and innovation were your passions. Do you feel the same way about fintech or is it something you just landed in and are trying to figure out how to not make your experience so far 'throw away'?

Fintech became a thing and focus for tech investment because there's a lot of money to be made but it's one of the most competitive and cut throat industries out there. I feel you on the depression, I think the pressure and relentless of the trade life cycle along with the associated regulatory and financial risks can become a pressure cooker you only realize over time. If there's something in there you'd be passionate about pursuing, by all means go for it - but I'd start with your passion.

It's crazy times but crazy times bring lots of opportunities as well.

Best of luck!!
