rewrites the hot path while markets open
You optimize packet routing and kernel bypass paths to shave nanoseconds off trade execution times.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why the hardware buffer overflowed during an unexpected market spike.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI starts identifying the exact code blocks causing your latency spikes.
Month 4
Machine learning agents begin auto-adjusting kernel parameters during live market hours.
Month 8
Vision models design optimized logic gates to replace your manual FPGA work.
Month 13
Autonomous agents rewrite your C++ logic to stay within cache lines.
Month 19 · D-Day
The system runs without human oversight at sub-nanosecond speeds.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
