This is a culture problem - as soon as you load up your trading firm with a bunch of software industry hires, you end up with jiras and change management workflows instead of people on deck that have context for what they're doing. That's the only way to explain reverse scalping for 45 mins straight.
As a software industry hire at a hedge fund right now... I'd love to see more cross-pollination, because there are so many good things happening on both sides, and so many terrible things happening through just a sheer lack of knowledge.
Change management workflows are great and should be used more in finance. But software companies should implement andon cord systems more often (Amazon does; nowhere else I've worked gives that power to anybody at the company).
What did you mean by this? Do you mean a way to disable systems at the flick of a switch, like dynamic feature flags?
