Disgusted with finance, I helped to build cowbird.com

2 pointsby dlauerabout 13 years ago
I worked in high-frequency trading for 2.5 years until I grew disgusted with it. I had worked on startups before, and knew that was where my passion was - to create rather than simply make money for rich people. I'll be on NPR's Marketplace program tonight reading a version of the cowbird story linked above.

I really enjoyed the story. Seems like it could become a cool platform for a new kind of audio book. Maybe it's just me but I did find it a little hard to find a story on a specific topic, but maybe thats because there aren't any tagged with finance, tech, or programming. Are there plans to add video along with the audio/picture?
