SEC/FINRA have required practices. The risk controls have to be firewalled from the trading desks precisely so that this type of blowup is contained.

Is that new? Back then it was two devs and two traders in a room. See a problem? Press the big red button. Deploy change. Press the big green button. Cowboy style. I STRONGLY recommend against doing it this way. I was young and stupid and I'm pretty sure it took years off my life.

The issue regards naked access. At that time the broker had requirements. Now that two-dev shop has to worry about risk etc.
