As an aside, I like reading Jane Street's blog. They're one of the few companies in our space (I'm also in "automated trading") that discusses even non-proprietary stuff openly. When you work in an information vacuum, it's comforting to know that presumably similar people face the same challenges.

When the author wrote "a particular production bash script (if that doesn't sound horrifying, hopefully it will by the end of this post)," I couldn't help but smile...

It's a great blog, they usually strike a great balance on the practical/theoretical scale for the articles. Would love for them to up the frequency of the posts, maybe they will once they find the writer they're looking for.

Do you happen to have some recommendations for similar blogs?

They're a pretty neat company from what I've seen, they also host a puzzle site here: https://www.janestreet.com/puzzles/

I interviewed there, but unfortunately didn't make the cut.

Same here. Interviewed with Jane St along time ago, got rejected in the end but came away massively impressed.
