He also spent 13 years building [an] OCR document engine company (PSPDFKit) before becoming an "overnight" vibe coder success story.

I'm don't know the inner works of the credit markets like some do, but only 90-150 bps over US risk free rates feel surprisingly low given Oracle's recent equity troubles

To make it easier for users to know what to expect, can you release a monitor for users to run locally?

I can understand setting limits, and I'd like to be aware of them as I'm using the service rather than get hit with a week long rate limit / lockout.

I remember seeing similar heat reduction claims in a more tropical, non desert env. https://reasonstobecheerful.world/green-corridors-medellin-c...

It's ironic this came [out] the day after COIN is going to be added to the SP500.

cool to see innovation reducing Wall Street data entry friction.

nah. Most of wealthy people I've interacted with have refined/specialized workflows that are something similar to 5 excel spreadsheets.

Build a tool that allows people to organize their 5 spreadsheet and you win.

I can attest to this.

The small company I was working for got card tested (scammers use hundreds of stolen cards to see if they work). I called customer support and talked with a human on a Friday night at 8pm for 15 minutes about our options. 2-3 days later, I chatted with someone from the fraud team.

I was surprised by the high touch service even though didn't have a lot of volume (new account w/ less than $10k of transactions).

+1 to this. I've worked in tech but never enjoyed the "upgrade the system every 2 years approach." Banks and financial services are now regulated to be slow, methodical, and dependable post 2008. I found a manager I respect in a group that does work I'm curious about (options/futures) so it's a good fit.

Same (but spent the last 4 years trading options as my main hobby)

I'm long term bullish too, but most companies don't take off after their IPO. I like the approach of buying the stock and selling calls on top of them (to also capitalize on high IV).

Tow things to note,

What were you intensely curious about at 12 years old? Do that.

Nasdaq futures already hit the overnight circuit breaker. We'll see if we hit any more levels on Monday during regular trading hours.

Time to buckle up.

2nd this approach.

Take 6 months and hire a coach or go to therapy to figure out what you really want.

asking open ended questions.

+1 to the advice here.

My 2 cents: learn how to quantify and record others expectations and then compare them to (your or your team's) output. My team's work and value within companies has been perceived as less because of mismanaged expectations.

Why not just gamble on Wall Street with fancy algos and options?

@austenallred - sorry about the hiccup. Sucks to get caught on the wrong side of regulations. Thanks for being so incredibly open about it. Cheering for LS.
