Just a note: I worked happily for Fidelity for over 9 years. I was hired to be
a wizard who could use maths and code. Eventually their need for wizardry of my

and everyone realized I didn't fit in that world. Parting was amicable (the best
company you can possibly have a 401k with), but it feels good doing something
again that is creative and compelling.
Oh, and yesterday I finished Witcher 3 on my PS4. I am in awe that this technology exists.
