This is an asinine comment.

He also wanted to move to New York to be closer to his children and grandchildren[1]. The big tech-using companies in NY happen to be finance. But I guess by your logic wanting to be closer to his family is just BS. He just wanted the money.

Not at all, I actually find that reason much more believable than the one he gives (joining Morgan Stanley to solve real world problems).

High frequency trading is a real problem and a challenge

Right but even if so, that's a lame complaint. Are you completely honest in your life? I suggest watching Liar Liar again as research material.

Nice strawman, but I'll take a swing anyway.

Of course not, I say stupid things now and then, like everybody else. And I think it's perfectly fair for people to call me when I do.

I think Stroustrup's statement on his bio of the Morgan Stanley page is disingenuous, so I just call it.
