Citi Keeps Hitting the Wrong Buttons
Also losing a billion dollars is cool, CEO personal conduct, the crypto strategic reserve, State Street vs. BlackRock and structured finance is also cool.
I think the best job in tech, or at least my dream job, is designing the user interface for the payments department of Citigroup Inc. As far as I can tell the job is just doing pranks, and the pranks are very funny:
One quirk? Fifteen zeros? The quirk in the software is that if you type “send $1” it says “okay sending one quadrillion dollars” and you have to backspace over all the zeros?1 Incredible interface design. “What is the lowest amount of money someone might want to send,” the interface designers asked themselves, and then answered “one quadrillion dollars” and fell out of their chairs laughing. “Fifteen zeros,” they screamed through tears of laughter.
