The 10 C++ Talks Every Low-Latency Engineer Should Watch
Conference talks are the closest thing to a free internship at a trading firm. Engineers who build nanosecond-sensitive systems get on stage and explain how it's actually done. These are the ten we'd hand to anyone preparing for a low-latency or HFT C++ role, in roughly the order we'd watch them.
