Co-founder and head of technology and security at a fintech.
----
WE ARE HIRING: Data, software, and systems engineers, especially with strong math, regulated or financial services backgrounds.
Expertise with functional programming and/or formal reasoning is a strong plus, as well as ability to dust off some linear algebra and differential equations, calculus (including differential, integral and stochastic), and probability and statistics.
If you math, you see data flows as living systems, and you grok systems as manifestations of code, you’ve probably got the job.
ABOUT US (AND YOU):
ClearAlpha Technologies LP is a rapidly growing alternative investment manager based in Greenwich CT that is reshaping the market for alpha. We're different by design; bringing together the flat, nimble, collaborative culture of a startup with decades of industry experience in senior leadership roles at the world's top hedge funds, banks, and technology businesses: AQR, Bridgewater, Goldman Sachs, Citadel and more.
At ClearAlpha, we're obsessive about outcomes and we give each other the trust and flexibility we all need to deliver. No micro-management, no unnecessary bureaucracy, and no old-fashioned hierarchies. Everyone in our team is dedicated to mastering their craft at the very highest level. From our investment teams to our technologists, we work side-by-side in cross-functional teams to deliver the best results for our clients and their end-constituents. Empowered by the very latest and best cloud-native technologies, everyone at ClearAlpha has the data and tools we need to deliver those results without friction.
We're looking for the right people to throw themselves into shaping the space with us and driving it forward. If you're ready and excited by that challenge, we look forward to meeting you.

85%* of small to midsize biz in United States are on Microsoft's office platform, not Google Workspace and Gmail.
starting with indies and SV startups and education is less risky, but the real market outside startup culture is often overlooked by those who came up inside that culture
generic IMAP is not worth the time, first class integration with M365 is worth the time
OIDC flavor "Continue with Microsoft" should be right there beside Continue with Google / Github / Whatever, on every SaaS that wants business clients small enough to make "sign up online" decisions. By contrast, for consumer, Continue with Apple would be the equivalently overlooked OIDC option if you are targeting "wallet share" (a revenue model) instead of headcount (an ad model, for instance).
* Didn't look this up. Used to be. Doesn't matter if 50% or 90%, it's substantial, and point stands: don't overlook it.
At the level of this question, with most responses addressing Odin versus Rust or Go as in the question, I'd have been curious for community thoughts adding in Nim and Swift (now that Swift is on Linux and in any IDE that can use SourceKit-LSP).
I wanted to like this and appreciated the genAI tokens were teased into a less AI-ish vernacular, but surfaces and honest caveats drifted back too far to overcome the "I'm human" signaling attempted through lowercase sentences and em dashes replaced with colons.
I agree with the problem described within, and in the dead comment here.
Refreshingly written. And like wading into the ocean on a surprisingly hot spring day, bracing.
At most any given scope, "most" systems you interact with aren't under your own control. For this, consider: because that's true, the fault is yours for not grappling with that reality.
- recognize that my code will interact with systems I cannot anticipate, that change in ways I cannot control, and become coupled more than ever intended
Extrapolate the flight time from NYC to London in 1976 ... have you seen the J-curve?
Or extrapolate the curve for self driving cars once they were only "two years away".
Catch is, tech progress is not one curve. It's overlapping S curves, stair steps of progress and stagnation, with the next iteration starting off worse than the current one, until crossing it as the current one tops out.
A spider graph or radar chart of mutually exclusive 1d characteristics conveys information through the geometry of 2d areas.
Here, the 3d is not conveying anything as the volumes within are not MECE qualia spaces -- like sorts or like kinds of things should share common volumes.
First, OP's tool is cool, and worth trying. Yours as well, though when I see a vibed tool with no commits I wonder if the author is still using it themselves or achieved perfection. :-)
Meanwhile, the other todo list take, one I've undertaken as well, is to cross sync all the Claude Codes across all its instances on all your machines.
There are multiple projects that claim to do this. None do it fully. (They particularly have blind spots to tools that embed a Claude Code, such as the Xcode 26.5 and Xcode 27 beta.)
So: roll one's own, and in doing that, realize that it has first class tools to make back referencing transcripts normal.
Given those tools, you don't really need an extra layer.
Assuming a sufficient base level of competence, more of how things go for company A vs. company B can be explained by random walks through events (their dependent paths) than by management.
A competent and persistent leader can increase the odds, but under close study, fortuitousness and serendipity – or luck of the draw and timing – have more explanatory power.
Meanwhile, just try to make your own luck. Make sure you happen to things, instead of things happening to you.
> Coding agents usually start from zero. They can inspect the current repo, but they often cannot recover the discussions, decisions, failed attempts, commands, and test results from earlier work.
Sure they can. Just ask them. Some (like Claude Code) even have built in tools for it that work a treat. It'll happily rebuild an entire edit history diff by diff.
And yet, the same is true for Apple photos about ease of export:
If you set the pref to keep originals locally, they're all on your drive, in original form, as well as the derived versions including caches of raw to jpeg, resolutions, and edited versions.
That said, Apple Photos does let you export even if only in cloud. Open the library, select all, and File > Export ... > Export Unmodified Originals.
It pauses for a second or two on my quarter million images, but is then happy to comply.
Our response[^1] to X’s petition debunks many claims the company uses in its arguments. For example, there’s little evidence the order placed an undue financial burden on X. In our letter, we note that the compliance cost is merely “a rounding error against the $200 billion valuation of X Corp. following the xAI merger.”
The letter is more interesting than the cover, undersigned by Center for Digital Democracy, Check My Ads Institute, Constitutional Alliance, Consumer Action, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, Demand Progress Education Fund (“DPEF”), Electronic Frontier Foundation (“EFF”), Electronic Privacy Information Center (“EPIC”), National Consumers League (“NCL”), Oregon Consumer Justice, Oregon Consumer League, Public Citizen, Travelers United and Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, and drafted by DPEF's Special Advisor Kate Oh ([email protected]),

Study claims iPhone contributed to a significant decrease in the birth rate after its release in 2007, when AT&T was the only carrier for the phone, allowing researchers to “isolate an iPhone-specific channel” and compare birth rates in areas with a high AT&T customer base to competitors' areas:
“The diffusion of the iPhone explains 33-52 percent of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15-44.”
Authors go on to muse that “as modern smartphones diffused, time spent with friends in person and sexual activity fell sharply alongside rising consumption of pornography, a possible substitute for partnered sex.”
Nothing to do, of course, with AT&T’s customer base at the time being urban, well-educated, and white, or that U.S. birth rate in the youngest groups had already been falling before 2007 with the trend continuing during study period.
