Title should be ".. of investment bank python", trading and risk has little in common with a retail digital bank like say N26.

The problem with these projects is that the folks leading them have never built a real trading system in entire their lives (the ones who have been there for many years worked with end-of-day batch systems) and there is a layer of useless and incompetent "business analysts" who hide behind their incompetence by finding ways to malign developers..

Pro tip: Dont work for a bank before assessing its open source repos. They have none? Run in the opposite direction.

When you say "The problem with these banks..." you mean the ones like N26 (not investment banks)? (Seems like coffee hasn't kicked in for me yet)
