Did you think finance programming industry (specifically around the KDB+/Q/K niche) fostered a "bro" culture (think wolf of wall street)? It always seemed like an interesting field, but every once in a while I hear discouraging stories. Curious about your experience with it.

I think kdb / q developers are possibly as far from wolf of wall street as it's possible to be.

One guy in London who worked in kdb was a huge arse, the tens of others I've encountered have all been lovely. It's an insane little language, though I'm only a basic user.
