I should DEFINITELY open a ramen shop.

The financial world is an incredibly interconnected and regulated web that very often puts you between a rock and a hard place, with very few options to make it "work" when the core nodes fail.

And you can't work around them! Your money, as anyone else's, MUST go through them. Are they not working? Well, you are pretty much fucked no matter what you prepared in advance or tried to do.

You can (and SHOULD) do that in fintech companies, of course. However, if you continue to delve deeper and closer to the bare metal of the financial world, you will eventually encounter the big whales: automated clearing houses operating at a continental level... central banks!

Typically, in tech, preparing for potential incidents significantly increases the likelihood of a swift and effective recovery.

You can make your deployments multi-cloud, multi-zone, and introduce high availability in all components, among other options. At the end of the day, it's YOUR product.

One thing that makes the fintech sector not suitable for the faint of heart is that the tight regulation and centralisation of some major infrastructures completely restrict your options when things go south.

Gora Fermin!

Una putada para los asistentes pero da gusto ver que Fermin Muguruza sigue incomodando y poniendo nerviosos a milicos y fascistas.

200 militares y policias con armas largas para desalojar un concierto.

Y así todo 🤦‍♂️
