Former Enron gas trader and Centaurus founder John Arnold (@johnarnold), on building "the best seat in the industry" after Enron:
"I felt I was among the best. I had also managed to create probably the best seat in the industry."
"...my first job out of college was at Enron. I started there when I was 21 years old in 1995... it went bankrupt in late 2001..."
"...deciding to start my own hedge fund."
"...the classic hedge fund two and 20 structure..."
"...intermediary between me and the 20%, right? I was getting the 20%."
"...we had very good financial returns early on."
"Whenever we had a down month or a down time period, which we had, they weren't calling to redeem, but they would call up and say, 'Do you need more capital?'"
Interesting architecture if you are interested in HFT / arb infra .
I think you should checkout blogs by @Blockhouse_cap as well to learn about it .

Inspired by recent discussion about whether it's possible to learn trading outside an elite firm.
If you're the kind of person that reads this project and thinks it sounds fun, imo you'll be able to learn employable trading skills just fine on your own.

how does auto-pay work under the hood?
X can deduct ₹600 from your bank account every month
then what's stopping X from wiping out your bank account?

I like how I can now use AI to actually implement and test my 3 am tinkering ideas by building a quick mvp .

This same thing happened with me had to book a air india flight on double price bruh .
..@flyspicejet What kind of bullshit is this? I have a flight tomorrow from Mumbai to Delhi at 1:30 PM, and now, barely 15 hours before departure, my flight gets cancelled.
To make things worse, I'm unable to reschedule or cancel my booking, and your customer care number is busy or simply not reachable!
What exactly am I supposed to do now? Is this how you treat your passengers??
