Yeah I’ve heard stories like this, but how do you actually go about learning how to develop low latency systems.
I mean I can read about stuff all damn day, but I’m not sure how the average person goes from “knows a bit about controlling latency” to “has demonstrable ability to create low latency systems”.
demonstrate your ability by contributing to relevant codebases on github, not a few commits here and there, build entire low-latency libraries, you're supoosed to be demonstrating excellence so show us the code (!!!!)
go to developer meetups, or better yet, speak at them
go to the pub after the meetup, thats where the real networking happens. talk to people dont just sit in the corner.
be smart about who you talk to and what you work on, time, resources and attention are limited, succinctly demonstrate apex excellence immediatly
I started out in games development, mostly on the engine side back in the PS1, PS2 and original Xbox era. I've has a bunch of interest over the years for finance types based on that low level experience. More generally any work on embedded or otherwise constrained systems
