Eh, he worked for Coinbase, he can probably con some cryptobros into paying him 250k, 300k. That whole industry is full of bigger rslurs than this guy.

He was a contractor for coinbase, it's totally different. At my company contractors are explicitly told they are not allowed to say “I worked for ${COMPANY}” on their resume.

Just put down that you did contract work for that company. What are they gonna do, fire you?

No that's fine, you can say that you did contract work. You can't list the company as your employer.

That makes too much sense. Wheres the drama?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Basically the goal is to enforce the "YOU ARE NOT OUR EMPLOYEE" message. Contractors get cucked out of pretty much every company perk you can imagine because we never want them to think they are a real employee. e.g. we have a huge fun event coming up that's free for all employees and interns to bring their spouse/children, but contractors are not allowed to show up because it might make them uppity. The entire contractor training is basically "frick you, you aren't our employee" over and over again
.
In this guy's case, he was likely getting paid a quarter of what coinbase pays an actual engineer and he would have been stuck doing all the shitty boring work nobody cares about. I've never been a contractor, but it seems super shitty. An intern in their second year of uni likely makes more money and gets all the company perks, while these guys just get shit on constantly.

Isn't this because of a legal case where contractors were legally argued to be employees since they were invited to an employee party?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yeah exactly. Same with all the other perks. Basically contractors tend not to be of the quality we want from a full time SWE (just generalizing) and we have no interest in having them be considered employees.
Contractors in general really want to impress enough to get hired on.

consultants make bang bucks though
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Not in this industry. Consultants typically make 25-50% of what you'd make as a full time software engineer, and you don't get any of the perks.
There are some exceptions of course, but as a rule life is way better as a full time engineer than as a consultant.

I still remember during the height of crypto fever we were looking into trading on some crypto exchanges.
They were disseminating market data using... JSON payloads over WebSockets. Can't even make this shit up. It was clear that literally zero people working at those exchanges has ever worked in fintech before, just zero clue.
(For all the r-slurs reading this, real exchanges use binary protocols over multicast UDP to disseminate market data.)

wow good for u bro sending non-acked packets in a proprietary format over network which is good because...it just is okay!!!
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's gonna be "proprietary" anyways because you need to write something to process the specific JSON fields they send. The only alternative would be if all the exchanges agreed on a single protocol, but they all offer slightly different features so that'll never happen.
It's not like the various crypto exchanges all use the same protocol, they're all bespoke anyways. Except now they're really high latency and needlessly large, many many times larger than they need to be to convey the same information.
Jump in the discussion.

I guess it makes sense because timing is such a big deal for traders. But choosing a custom binary format over easily readable/maintainable/expandable JSON to save 100 bytes on a request or w/e feels intuitively r-slurred.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Let me put it this way. A typical options exchange's market data feed is gonna be like 5-10 Gbps, that's with a really compact custom binary format. Not only are these formats small, but they're fast to parse/process, designed so you can basically define a struct in C++ and then just reinterpret_cast<> a pointer to it to read off the fields. Doesn't get much faster than that.
The same data with the r-slurred JSON format would be like 50 Gbps, plus you have to waste time doing stupid shit like parsing ASCII text as integers/floats. Not to mention the insanity of having this data come over TCP, which is an issue for SO many reasons (there's no real multicast TCP, you need to wait for acks, the exchange side is also heavier because it has to wait for you to ack stuff). There's no way to distribute the data to multiple endpoints on your end because it's not a real broadcast because it's point-to-point TCP. The binary formats also have the nice property that you can skip over messages you don't care about because you know their exact length so can just do some pointer math. Can't do that with JSON.
Now exchanges do use TCP... for order/quote entry, purges/cancels, etc. You know, use cases where you're dealing with point-to-point data and reasonably might want verification that the exchange got your orders (although there's a separate acknowledgement message anyways so the TCP acks aren't even required here).
(This is for US markets - which are categorically better than all other electronic trading platforms in the world and it's not even remotely close, all the European exchanges are dogshit in comparison.)
Only someone who thinks trans lives matter would consider this a good solution.
Oh one last note re: easily readable: you can just use a dissector in Wireshark for the exchange protocol, so you can read off any values from packet captures. EZ.
