Fascinating Specimen
So my group just hired a new FIX developer. His sole mission in life is to write lines and lines of code that enable our customers' orders to get routed to exchanges, so that they can piss their money away trading.
I've worked with a lot of developers since I crossed over to the IT side a few years ago, but this guy might be the strangest ever. He walks in every morning with a 3 liter (which I didn't even know they still made) bottle of Jewel brand grape soda. He runs to the coffee maker and grabs a cup and fills it about 4 inches above the brim with ice. He then pours the soda into the cup, and usually kills about 2/3rds of the bottle over the course of a 9 hour day. If for some reason he runs out--not to panic! He's got a case of Coke Classic cans under his desk. He also listens to a cassette Walkman all day long. Bizarre.
