Certainly not I, at the time! (In my defense, I was an intern, and was shocked to learn that rows labelled "USD" could not be assumed to be USD. I hope today I am less naïve… but even by today me's standards, that's pretty appalling data quality.)
> I was voted down as not understanding how banks worked.
Yep, I feel this. The best engineers I have worked with make it their job to become an expert in the subject matter they're designing/engineering software for. I mean … why wouldn't they?
