It's almost like there is no replacement for human expertise when we need to make usable products for other humans.

When we were in college, one of my friends joked that their stream library was their largest financial asset.

I feel like the obvious answer this topic is circling is that the left expresses more empathy to those outside their immediate circles (caring for the planet), while the right focuses their empathy inwardly (family values.)

I think this is bait because it's the sort of thinking that 'feels right' without thinking too hard about it.

It's very true. As a merchant acquirer, everything is BigDecimal, only the auth path needs real performance, and FX occurs at a fixed rate per-day which is easy to reconcile.

It's fun reading all the different ways fintech has to adapt their systems for their specific niche.

I view the current tools as more of a multiplier of base skill.

A 1x engineer may become a 5x engineer, but a -1x will also produce 5x more bad code.

Can you say more as to why? The concept is not complex and in our situation at least provides a lot of benefits.
