@dang could we get a (2017) added to this? Changes the context quite a bit given FTX folks worked at Jane Street previously and a modern version of this talk would have a much different context.
I don't think the context changes at all. This talk is about high performing systems (millions of requests per second) written in OCalm. There is nothing here related to the criminality of FTX or what its non-technical founder decided to do with customer funds as a business decision. It matters very little that one or more of them used to work as an analyst at Jane Street.
It's intriguing how Forbes 400 list includes criminals. If someone tricks people into "investing" with them and they accumulate enough billions of US dollars, and it takes a few years for the authorities to act, then do they get a spot on the Forbes 400. What are the rules.
