“So, a company will decide they want to go public. Typically, they will interview a variety of exchanges that could be domestic U.S. exchanges. It could be if they're a foreign company, they will look at their home markets as well. Ultimately, they have a certain objective in mind. Do they want to raise capital? Do they not want to raise capital? If they want to raise capital, what investor base are they really targeting?”

“It sure does. Syntax absolutely matters efficiency. Absolutely matters. Think of the way I think of efficiency around computer coding is not that different to communicating with a local in a foreign country. They've got their, you've got your typical language, you know, the stuff that you would learn in textbooks, but then you've got the more shorthand types of communication. I kind of view efficient computer coding in the same fashion.”

“Exactly. It kept doing that. So on the days when I would put, you know, in code and the machine would do exactly what I told it to. I was like, oh, wow, that's great.”

“Absolutely. So I tend to view computer coding not that dissimilar to communicating in a foreign language. Lot of times you're learning French, Spanish to communicate with someone in a different country. When you're learning computer coding, you're just learning how to communicate with a machine. And a lot of times when you're communicating with that machine, you think you're telling them something really good and something really positive and what comes out is something really not positive. Very frequently, maybe because I wasn't the best coder, I would, you know, come back with errors or stuff stuck in what is known as an infinite loop where the machine just keeps going and going and going.”

“Absolutely, absolutely, and just macro technology. I remember the first classes I took in my CompSite major, I learned assembly language. I was coding on a mainframe. I was moving from register one to register two, and that's like the most basic form. And now mainframes have become really thin machines. They've really moved into thin servers. They've moved into storage capacity like the cloud. So the advancement of technology since I finished my degree in the late 90s to where it is today has really exploded into something that allows for more performant, more real time. Type of interactions”

“Fortunately, technology has been significantly advanced. And I think that's what's contributing to the volumes of liquidity that you actually see in the markets, but also the amount of incoming order messages that we see every day.”

“Sounded good to a seventeen year old filling out a bunch of college essays at the kitchen table. So I ticked off computer science despite, you know, not having a tremendous amount of experience with a computer aside from playing with video games and fiddling around more as a hobby than anything.”

“Well, what really led me in the path of studying for my undergrad was my dad giving me really good advice, which was way ahead of its time in the early 90s when I was applying to college, where he suggested I not go into the traditional engineering discipline. But instead, go into computer science, mainly because not only was I good at math and good at sciences, but he said there were always be opportunities for women in computer science. That's interesting. And it's something that was just way ahead of its time.”

“They were floppy. You could bend them, twist them, whatever the case may be. No, you shouldn't. Though you shouldn't because your program would not work if you did that. And it just became hooked on it. And as any good kid does, you become hooked on video games first.”

“Don't know what a Commodore 64 is. I remember when I came home from elementary school one day, and my dad who was an electrical engineer used to design fuel gauges on airplanes, came home with this huge box and it was a Commodore 64. I said, what's that? He said the first home computer. And I said, what's that? I was a kid. I had no idea. And he also brought home a stack of floppy disks, which were quite large for the youth that don't remember.”

“I think the industry became very well prepared. I don't know that it was a near miss, but I think we got ahead of a potential challenge. There was a technical challenge and that computers only stood years in two digits as opposed to four digits. So 2000 could have been 1900, and that could have caused challenges. I don't know if those challenges would have been As extreme as was forecasted or not, but I'm really glad we didn't find out.”

“Was it a crisis? That's fair. It wasn't a crisis in that I remember waking up on New Year's Eve 1999 and going to work in a call center because that's what you do in your 20s working at IBM. And we were watching the Australia open, the clocks hitting in Australia and everything was fine. And we sort of knew. That once Australia opened okay, we were going to be okay.”

“It was great. I'm going to date myself a little bit, but I was there through the Y2K crisis when global services was relied upon by customers around the globe to get them through that crisis.”
