Emanuel Derman
“Even in the mid-1990s geeks were fair game. One afternoon a colleague and I were standing on either side of one of the narrow aisles between the banks of trading desks on the floor when one of the chief traders walked between us, his head momentarily between ours. At that instant he winced, clutched his head with both hands as though in excruciating pain, and exclaimed, “Aarrggh-hhh! The force field! It’s too intense! Let me out of the way!”
Emanuel Derman, My Life as a Quant: Reflections on Physics and Finance

Nipun Varma
“Proof of concept or POC is the art of winning a ship-building contract by showing the working model of a paper boat”
Nipun Varma, Adventures of an Indian Techie
