Apropos of...

I’m 58, lived a life with more to live and seen more than I probably should have. What would make for interesting topics and conversations for me to contribute to (including topics like don’t end a sentence with a preposition 😀)?

Tradfi coder by day, hacker by night. Doesn’t know night from day. Freelance scribe. Dad cook. Dog butler.  Happy Grandpa. Draws badly.

No joke. My first job was a research assistant building and running lab equipment measuring the classical conditioning of the rabbit eyeblink and modeling the brain pathways in simulation. My second job was getting recruited to work on a complex financial services application.

What was your first job?  What technical advancements in tradfi did you witness first hand? How did you see the people around you adjust?  I’m just spitballin here.
