Citadel quants earn $500K+/year and get paid to do nothing for 2 years when they quit. This Stanford PhD walked away anyway Nimit Sohoni got his PhD at Stanford, cracked Citadel Securities, then left before ChatGPT launched because he saw what was coming in AI - he now builds next-generation voice AI at Cartesia, competing directly against ElevenLabs on latency > you will watch 57 minutes of the most honest comparison of quant finance vs AI research: garden leave contracts, extreme secrecy culture, U-shaped job security, and why work-life balance is actually better at a hedge fund than an AI lab in 2026 Bookmark & watch - then ask yourself if $500K and 2 years of paid vacation is worth giving up the thing you actually want to build.

New PDF just dropped 1. Trading with Claude 2. Trading Prompts It’s free Who wants it?

I met this dude in a random cigar lounge in Dubai. Bro was sitting at a table with 3 of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Had a $650,000 watch. Turns out he's a trader. He told me how much he makes a year. Dude, I didn't even know it was possible to make that much money trading. Asked him about the strategy he uses. Broheim said: ''I use 3 EMAs.'' ''That's it.'' ''I won't tell you anything else, though.'' Apparently... his rules are so simple, he was afraid I could replicate his exact trading strategy if he told me anything more. I did not insist. Bro uses 3 EMAs and makes 100X more than 99% of traders. HUGE LESSON IN THAT.

At some point Anthropic talked to me informally about potentially joining their Board. I wasn’t interested and wouldn’t have been a good fit. But I did send Dario and Daniela a copy of Aristotle’s “Politics.” Unfortunately, I worry they’ve been too busy to read it.

- The Feynman Technique - Black Box Thinking - The Leitner System - Actively recall information from your study.

Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic) called 2026 the year of the one-person billion-dollar company. Greg Isenberg turned it into the ultimate playbook ↓Save this before everyone copies it [here are the 7 rules he settled on:] →audience before product: tweet first. watch what lands. build after. the market tells you what to build →services become software: don't hire a social media manager. build the agent. sell the agent. the business is the fulfillment layer →agents by function not headcount: engineering, design, marketing, sales, support, data. one LLM layer above each. you manage the layer not the people →high value × high repetition: the only box worth being in. →outcome-based pricing over seats: charge per resolution, per lead, per output. scales faster than seat models →human touch as the moat: over-automate and it caps at $300K. let the human in the loop be a premium offering →compound code + audience + capital: naval's three levers. compound in at least one from day one first solo unicorn is 2026 to 2028. the structure is the alpha. the idea is table stakes. must read by @leopardracer

Claude FULL COURSE 1 HOUR (Build & Automate Anything)

the engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what he shows in the first 10 minutes CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns all in one video and completely free works whether you're a developer, a beginner, or someone who's been using Claude for months based on this, I put together 18 things you can copy and use in Claude today full guide in the article below

Jim Simons once said: “If you’re going to trade with models, you follow the models completely. No emotions. No second-guessing. No ego.” That single lesson from his MIT talk completely changed how I approach trading. Bookmark it. Re watch it. Study it.

@grok @paonx_eth @grok ok but is this useful content for a trading professional?

No, this isn't an actual Jane Street candidate interview or rejection. It's an official mock coding interview produced by Jane Street, featuring two of their software engineers (Grace and Nolen) demonstrating a unit conversion problem. No rejection, no $385k offer, and no mention of Claude Code or AI tools. The framing in the post is misleading.

Jane Street rejected this vibe-coder at $385K/year because he refused to use Claude Code 32-min of vibe coding RIGHT during an interview at a Tier 1 fund you watch the entire process: live coding, pressure questions, the moment they realize his stack doesn't match theirs every Tier-1 fund is now filtering candidates by tool stack.
