Smalltalk is still technically used in a commercial setting at JPM , though mostly due to the incredibly long timeframes banks work on. I was tangentially involved with it last year via an upstream application that fed into it and don't have particularly pleasant memories of it (probably mostly due to the massive amount of cruft attached).
I'm interested whether anyone here who worked on it knows whether it was a representative program for large scale Smalltalk applications?
I remember the "frames" used to crash nearly continually, and keeping one open for a few days (often necessary on complex trades) used to be a real pain.
Just an upcoming uk grad, so I'm not sure I'm the best fit, but just wanted to say kudos for the clear job description, it's nice to see so much detail about the application process.
Thanks for the feedback, we're big on transparency :)
For what it's worth we are planning on bringing more junior members on in ~9-12 months. Either way, we're looking for the right people, not just to fill these roles. Feel free to send me an email if what we're doing interests you.
The part of twitter that believes the real Jews are of African descent would be a good example no? Antisemitism seems one of the few conspiracy theory topics that is prevalent on both sides of the political spectrum, though on the left it seems to mostly come from NOI types or Muslims who take antizionism a little too far.
BLM UK got in a lot of trouble for saying that discussion of antisemitism was being stifled in British politics, and it looks like they still have their twitter account. Nick Cannon looks like he still has his twitter account as well, though his comments were made on air iirc.
> I've largely stopped using twitter due to the incessant politics, pretty much what you described above but just in a different flavor
I'm not saying there aren't crazy takes in many corners of Twitter, but OP made a very far reaching claim here that I can't imagine holding water from my experience. The examples you bring up seem pretty fringe at best and not representative of common activity on Twitter.
