She could probably have been stinking rich on this work alone, but instead she just put it up on Github. Kudos to Laurie.

She probably is already stinking rich, or at least rich enough. Beyond certain point, though, research and knowledge seems more interesting than riches, and particularly if you feel yourself a researcher. Otherwise, perhaps, she be doing the same to business and be Ellona or something. Thank God she does not, but the contrary - is an inspiration to so many people - young and adult. Kudos!
Companies are standing in line to double their RAM usage right now, right.
For an HFT firm, RAM cost is a non-issue. Even the tiniest improvement in latency can result in millions of dollars of extra profit. They can octuple their RAM usage and still make a killing.

I bet Citadel already has reached out to Laurie :)

Depends how much total RAM your application needs and how much money RAM access tail latency costs your business.
