Haha, Bloomberg is not a suit and shirt place! When I worked there, I wore sandals, shorts, and a t-shirt. Lots of other people (including my manager's manager) did the same. There was also a guy dressed like a heavy metal rocker who was in meetings with guys in suits all the time.

Also, Danny Dulai worked for Bloomberg.

I just choose to interact with the net using my personal address :)

As for attire, everyone wears whatever they want -- probably just like any other company posting here.

I am officially retiring from this conversation :-)

I did not mean to imply any improprietary, just a passing glance at a site, and a middle aged man who should know the by-ways of the net better (me).

Sounds like a fun fire-hose to get to work with - enjoy.

(Actually I would be interested in getting a flavour of the sizes of data sets, time constraints you work under, tools of choice (trading off performance and reliability) - real time massive data is where most of us are heading, would be interesting to hear letters back from Mason and Dixon)
