    FPGA engineer with a focus on ultra-low latency networking at Jane Street.
Yikes.


Not sure i get the implication, something wrong with the company?


I’m not the parent, but I’d assume that this was an impressed ‘yikes.’ While Jane is not the most well known firm for ultra low latency trading, an FPGA engineer from that firm could be considered an expert practitioner in the field.


Some people just love dropping “yikes” type comments and then never explaining themselves.


A few of those same cringe “yikes” users appear to have downvoted my comment too. Truly a strange bunch.


Is this really unexpected? A person who knows ultra-low-latency networking with FPGAs writes an article about making low-latency networking hardware for a company that needs high-speed, low-latency communications (high-frequency trading)
