No human will ever write code better than LLMs. Accept this fact, stop pretending, and move on.

“If you can find traders that don’t want to trade but need to trade, those are great people to trade
against.”

repeatable edges, and adapting as competition catches up.
We covered running HFT in JavaScript, trading against forced flows, exchange risk, and why even automated
strategies still need human judgment.

Software engineers these days at my job have NO idea what bits theyre flipping man. How are you supposed to understand anything if you're not looking at the instruction set and logic gate diagrams of the ALU you're working with? You're telling me you aren't writing verilog?

mexc offering 600% apy on usdt staking with $40m frozen in withdrawals for 20+ days. no exchange pays 600% unless they need your deposits to cover other users' exits. when stablecoin yields exceed 30% anywhere, that platform is already dead. get your funds out now.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
If you read the terms, it’s capped at 300 USDT, lasts 2 days, and is only for new users yielding about 9.86 USDT. MEXC isn’t the only one either @Bitget ran the same promo. Claiming they’re doing this due to insolvency is completely inaccurate.

Short version — in Cliff’s fantasy world, every strategy he doesn’t like underperformed, and every strategy he likes outperformed.
It’s one thing to pat yourself on the back, but patting yourself on the back a decade before you actually achieve the results takes real chutzpah.

Retweet or quote tweet this if you’ve ever been de-banked because you own crypto or are in crypto!
I have, multiple times, whether it’s banks refusing to open you an account because of crypto, closing your account because of crypto, etc
