It's amazing how a few people have left such a big mark on a part of the investment banking industry. I missed Kirat right before exiting BAML but met all his "disciples" and Dubno..including his miniature dinosaur and telescope in his office :). Very much felt like tech religion where no open debate on merits and drawbacks could be discussed. And a lot has changed in terms of engineering innovation with turnover since that era... |

1. An organization/industry can adopt each new technology only once. New technologies arise infrequently. Each time they arise, only a few people get to work on the projects introducing them. In other words, opportunities to leave a big mark are limited.
2. Credit for innovation is political capital. People hoard political capital and become powerful. They act as gatekeepers of innovation and take the credit for successful projects.
